You give me too much credit 8-)

Your environment is now based on a mix of python37 and
python 38 related materials. You are likely going to
need to rework/rebuild/reinstall things to avoid that.

Hints may come from that UPDATING that I quoted but
things are more broken overall than what UPDATING is
intended to cover. You might end up needing to
uninstall a bunch of stuff until python is unused
(or only one python is used) and then follow the
notes if you have only python37 use and want to
get to python38. Finally rebuild/reinstall what
was uninstalled, based on python38 as a context.

Trying to deinstall both python37 and python38 didn't
suffice. Python38's reinstall fails with the same
conflict. Deleting the offending file doesn't help
If other things need to be deinstalled it's not clear
what they might be.
Due to how I build/install ports, I've not had to deal
with ending up with the mix so I'm not familiar with
the details for recovering from a messy mix.


Would use of poudriere help with this sort of problem?
It isn't trivial to configure, but this sort of difficulty
has been growing ever worse. I didn't want to deal with the
complexity and overhead, but maybe it's time.

Many thanks for patient counsel!
