Exactly. When I ran this (and then went for breakfast and coffee): /usr/bin/eix-sync /usr/bin/emerge --update --newuse --deep --keep-going --with-bdeps y/usr/bin/emerge --update --newuse --deep --keep-going --with-bdeps y world /usr/bin/emerge --depclean /usr/bin/revdep-rebuild -C -P I ended up with Python 3.1 and no 2.x which made a horrible mess. I ended up having to manually download and install Python 2.x into /opt and pointing /usr/bin/python to it to get things functional enough again to re-emerge the 2.6 release. So, ok, maybe it doesn't 'replace' it, but something sure as hell removed it, which is clearly the wrong behavior since emerge depends on it. Please enlighten me where I went wrong as I'd rather not have such surprises in the morn. :) -- Douglas J Hunley, RHCT [email protected] : http://douglasjhunley.com : Twitter: @hunleyd Obsessively opposed to the typical.
