python-updater should've been run after you installed a new version of python (I'm pretty sure it is in the ebuild). equery depends is not smart enough to know that there is another python on your system that satisfies the dependencies. What you should look for in the output of equery depends is whether any of the dependencies (as listed in the paranthesis after the package name) is a hard dependency on a particular version of python. Basically, look for something that says =virtual/python-2.3 or <=virtual/python-2.3 or something like that. My cursory glance at the output you send suggests that nothing explicitly depends on that particular version of python. So you *should* be able to unmerge the old one. If something does break... then file a bug at b.g.o. W -- "Let me just make sure this is not on my list to avoid." ~DeathMech, S. Sondhi.
