Yes. (See your cited bugreport below, there is the same situation.) > > But python requires: >=sys-apps/portage-2.0.49-r16 > > Yes, otherwise things will break.

There is no python installed (eg in world file) so 'emerge portage' tries to install a version >=dev-lang/python-2.2.1. If my system is in ~x86 it tries to emerge a python-2.3 version which depends on >=sys-apps/portage-2.0.49-r16.

The old one was: "Warning: Advanced users: If you are planning on installing an ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" Gentoo system, do not set ACCEPT_KEYWORDS until the bootstrap phase (stage1) is done." But that doesnot prevent the portage-python cycle above. > > - should i emerge intermediatly a python-2.2 version? > > In fact, because you can already run portage, it implies you have > python-2.2.x installed.

Until there are stages with 2.3, everybody can not switch to ~ARCH after bootstraping (or you must install python-2.2 intermediatly). > You may want to follow this bug: > > http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35525 I searched the database but didn't find this one.
