I'm getting the following from portage on a critical remote system:

Am I suppose to un-emerge python?

Perhaps you should update your python. Version 2.3 will be removed from
portage and is currently hardmasked. That triggers the depency bump.
'emerge -pv python' wants to install python-2.5.2-r5 in a new slot.
Should I unmerge python, emerge the new python, and run
python-updater? Will portage work once python has been unmerged? I'm
being cautious because this is a highly critical system for me.

If memory serves me correct, update python with the new slot, run
python-updater and then you should be able to unmerge the old python. I
would double check to make sure nothing depends on the old one before
removing it tho. Python is something you do not want to be without. I
seem to recall that portage uses python so removing it would be . . .
'bad'.
As was mentioned in another thread, you can set it up so that portage
will save a copy of your packages just in case. You can set it to do
them all or just the system ones. I think everybody should have it set
to at least system.
