If you are running the new linux kernel version 3.0, you will
find that today's update of python will fail with the error
"plat-linux2 not found".
That's because the python configure scripts will detect the
version 3 kernel and will try to use "plat-linux3" instead of
"plat-linux2".
To finish today's update of python2 and python3, just boot
with any kernel-2.6.x and repeat the python update.
Did you by chance file a roach report? If so, number or link
please.
Sounds like 2.6.40 may have been a better idea. lol
Dear god, no!
May I point your attention over to portage so you can see for yourself
how silly that can get? 100 _rc versions and currently at 46 _alphas.
It's starting to look like svn commit numbers would be a better number
scheme :-)
Maintainers everywhere will simply have to update their install
scripts (the usual point of failure for something like this) and it
will be mostly fixed everywhere in about a fortnight.
Looks like they could have went to 2.6.99 then. ;-)
