LOL Since I would rather try to remove Scribus than python, I'll remove Scribus, do some cleaning, then reinstall and see what happens. We all know what could happen if I remove python that portage is using. o_O I'll report back if it continues after all this. Thanks to both Alan and Mark on this one. I was getting drunk going around in circles with this. Dale :-) :-)
