Re: [gentoo-user] revdep-rebuild attempts to emerge old package
I did not know about python-updater. Should I re-install the old version of python again, and then run python-updater? Right now it complains about there not being an old version of python. Gotta run to work for now though. :( On 10/12/06, Bo Ørsted Andresen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Thursday 12 October 2006 08:30, PaulNM wrote: It looks like an old version of python is still on your system from when there was an ebuild for it.
