Python and Java have taken me days to clean up on an
old, mostly unattended system.
I'm almost done, but have an issue, I've not seen before.
emerge -p @preserved-rebuild
[ebuild R ] dev-db/libpq-8.1.11
[ebuild R ] app-text/hunspell-1.2.8
[ebuild U ] dev-lang/python-2.5.4-r3 [2.5.4-r2]
[ebuild R ] kde-base/kalgebra-4.2.4
[ebuild R ] app-crypt/gnupg-2.0.11
[ebuild R ] dev-lang/lua-5.1.4
[ebuild R ] sci-libs/libqalculate-0.9.6-r1
[ebuild R ] media-video/ffmpeg-0.5-r1 USE="doc*"
[ebuild R ] dev-scheme/guile-1.8.5-r1
[ebuild R ] sys-devel/gdb-6.8-r1
[ebuild R ] sys-devel/bc-1.06.95
[ebuild R ] dev-db/mysql-5.0.70-r1
[ebuild R ] dev-db/postgresql-8.1.11
Ok this is strange, as I have rebuild @system on this system
and python-updater has moved everything to python 2.6 (???)
dev-lang/python
Available versions:
(2.4) 2.4.6
(2.5) 2.5.4-r3
(2.6) 2.6.2-r1
(3.1) ~3.1.1
Installed versions: 2.5.4-r2(2.5)
2.6.2-r1(2.6)
So what's pulling in python 2.5?
equery depends dev-lang/pythondev-lang/python-2.5.4-r2
Searching for packages depending on
dev-lang/python-2.5.4-r2...
Nothing (?)
So is it OK to unmerge python 2.5? Or do I still need it?
I still get old garbage wanting python 2.5 with
emerge -p @preserved-rebuild
How to proceed is most welcome news to me.
