Re: [gentoo-user] Problem with python-updater ?

2011-03-27 Thread JM
I would look at python 3 - I couldn't emerge until only 2.6 was active. I don't know how but on the new machine I set up, python3 was selected as active, I set it back to 2.6 and everything was fine. From the output I can see there is a version of python 3 active. Maybe a red herring, if so, I

You can allow it to install the masked packages by typing: ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 emerge --update --deep world (you can also use --keep-going, instead of --skip-first and it will try and continue when it finds errors). Actually, you can only use ~x86 if you are using an i686 or whatever (no good
