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 ?
