Hi group, Notice in the following portage has nothing to say about "blockers" following a warning from revdep-rebuild. And the -u switch calls forth an earlier version of python but without the -u switch is content to re-emerge the newer package which I already have on my system.
This was all precipitated after emerge xcircuit I was advised to upgrade tk and tclx and then revdep-rebuild. emerge -u tk just said zero packages to emerge. Not "no ebuilds to satisfy 'tk'", zero packages. emerge -u tclx upgraded to a slightly newer version however... localhost heathen # revdep-rebuild Configuring search environment for revdep-rebuild Checking reverse dependencies...

Is it safe to just ignore this? I mean, I just completed emerge -uD world a couple of weeks ago.
