The root of the problem is really quite simple, you have a system with a python version python-updater doesn't like. The solution is actually quite simple: step 1. update python to 2.5, rebuild cracklib (afaik cracklib is the only system package that requires python), portage, gentookit. step 2. at this point, you can unmerge the old python, some packages *will* break, but you will still have a console that works fine, and your portage is built against the 2.5. step 3. emerge python-updater, since no python-2.3 is present, it'll emerge happily. step 4. run python-updater step 5. voila -- Joe -- There are 3 kinds of people in the world: those who can count, and those who can't.
