I have a 'stable-only' gentoo box which I regularly update .. a few days ago python
was updated;
however it did not unmerge the old python.
The situation now is the following:
- I have both python 2.2.3-r5 and python 2.3.3 on my system;
- /usr/bin/python is a symbolic link to /usr/bin/python2.3
portage no longer works;
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 6, in ?
import os,sys,socket
File "/usr/lib/python2.3/socket.py", line 44, in ?
import _socket
ImportError: No module named _socket
The funny thing is that if I compare /usr/lib/python2.2 and /usr/lib/python2.3 I have
_socket.so in both, in subdirectory lib-dynload, however python2.3 will not load this
module, whereas python2.2 will.
If I change the /usr/bin/python symlink to python2.2 portage works again; but is this
how it
is supposed to work ? What should I do now ? Why was python updated to 2.3.3 ?
