[gentoo-user] Strange python-updater error
Hi all, After upgrading world, i installed python-3.1.2-r3 with already installed python-2.6.4-r1 As recommended, i ran python-updater ; so python-updater added some packages to the list as : app-office/openoffice-bin:0 dev-lang/-MERGING-python:2.5 ...

[gentoo-user] What settings for nVidia G72 [GeForce 7300 LE] video card?
I'm converting an older Dell E521 AMD K8 machine from XP to Gentoo. I intend to use it with an HDHomerun ATSC tuner, for recording and playback. I don't know if it supports AGP, but I am including... * AMD Opteron/Athlon64 on-CPU GART support * NVIDIA nForce/nForce2 chipset support ...in the kernel.

Re: [gentoo-user] Two gcc versions installed
I usually keep the last version of GCC around until I've managed to rebuild the entire world with the newer one, just in case. If you've run the tasks mentioned after the newer version was installed, it should probably be safe.

Did you run fix_libtool_files.sh 4.3.4 after switching gcc versions with gcc-config before trying depclean?

Right. And if a script specifically wants Python 3, it is there for it to use. Cool, thanks guys... I agree with the other replies. You have it there now so just let it be. Just don't switch to it until there is a news item that says everything is ready. I would even make sure everything depends on python 3 and nothing depends on python 2 before switching, just in case you have something that will break and cause you grief. To think the devs didn't believe this was going to cause some confusion. sighs Dale :-) :-)
