Title: python-exec package move Author: Michał Górny <mgo...@gentoo.org> Content-Type: text/plain Posted: 2013-11-07 Revision: 1 News-Item-Format: 1.0 Display-If-Installed: dev-python/python-exec Due to the recent issues which caused dev-python/python-exec:0 to be removed prematurely [1], we had to perform an urgent package move. Since we could not use the automatic updates support in portage, users will notice two python-exec packages and possibly blockers. Currently, dev-lang/python-exec is the real package that contains python-exec and that will be used in the future. dev-python/python-exec is a virtual package that is kept for compatibility with dependencies in already-installed packages. In the most favorable scenario, the package will be upgraded correctly on your next world update if you use the '--deep' (-D) and '--update' (-u) options. If you don't want to perform a complete world update or if it fails for you, you may as well manually upgrade dev-python/python-exec: emerge -1 dev-python/python-exec This will cause portage to update both python-exec packages and resolve the blockers properly. Please note that if you have applied any kind of package-specific modifications to dev-python/python-exec (such as applying keywords through 'package.accept_keywords'), you will need to copy them to dev-lang/python-exec as well. If you have applied keywords to dev-python/python-exec in order to unmask Python 3.3 on a stable system, please consider removing the keywords and reading our wiki page that explains how to properly unmask USE flags [2]. We apologize for all the inconveniences. If you have any more issues with python-exec, please do not hesitate to contact as at #gentoo-python IRC channel (@freenode) or the gentoo-pyt...@lists.gentoo.org mailing list.
