It also often helps to just read the ebuilds relevant to the issues you encounter. For example: less /usr/portage/dev-python/setuptools/setuptools-36.7.2.ebuild It's a pita, but as packages are listed in ebuild, check them out (manually) on your system. I had some issue with Python of late, and just settled on the defaults 2.7 && 3.5 and they all cleaned up nicely. https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Python/PYTHON_TARGETS https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Python/Implementations hth, James On 8/25/18 4:33 AM, Philip Webb wrote: > For a long time, several pkgs have been refusing to install, > apparently due to a conflict re python targets : > > root:595 ~> emerge -pv certifi file pyblake2 meson setuptools > Calculating dependencies... done! > [ebuild R ] dev-python/setuptools-36.7.2 PYTHON_TARGETS="-python3_4* > -python3_5* python3_6*" > [ebuild U ] dev-python/certifi-2018.4.16 [2017.4.17] > PYTHON_TARGETS="-python3_4* -python3_5* python3_6* (-python3_7)" > [ebuild U ] sys-apps/file-5.33-r4 [5.32] PYTHON_TARGETS="-python3_4* > python3_6* (-python3_7)" > [ebuild U ] dev-python/pyblake2-1.1.2 [1.1.0] PYTHON_TARGETS="(-pypy3) > -python3_4* -python3_5* python3_6* (-python3_7)" > [ebuild U ] dev-util/meson-0.46.1 [0.45.1] PYTHON_TARGETS="-python3_5* > python3_6*" > > !!!
