I bet that's it.

The python targets are an expanded USE which is usually set in the profile but can be over-ridden in make.conf. My emerge --info shows: PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python2_7" PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 python3_3 As I understand it, PYTHON_TARGETS lists all the available python versions that ebuilds may use. If an ebuild is coded to use one in the list, then great and the build proceeds. PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET defines the python version an ebuild must use if it only wants python and does not specify a version. This all applies at build time so it's not quite the same thing as "eselect python" which specifies what happens at *runtime* The best way to maintain this is to let the profile do it (which is why most folks don't have any of this in make.conf). You can over-ride the profile but then the user must maintain the list[1]. If I do this: PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 python3_3 python3_4" emerge -pv blender then I get one last error about USE="gflags" for dev-cpp/glog, adding that to package.use makes portage happy. SO I think the OP just needs to add this to make.conf: PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 python3_3 python3_4" and then tweak package.use if necessary > > Does this mean OP should have no other version of Python on his system, but > 3.4.x?

[1] I recall a thread over a year ago where this was explained and I found the quote I remember: If you are running a modern system with only Python 2.7 & 3.2 installed, then you don't have to do anything.

I'm very confused, too. =dev-python/chardet-2.2.1 offers to emerge just fine on my system, but when I try to emerge Blender I get a similar mess to you. It seems to be related to this PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET business. I understand that PYTHON_TARGETS means "build for this version of Python" but am not familiar with the single target part. Perhaps someone else can explain? Does this mean OP should have no other version of Python on his system, but 3.4.x? Stroller. PS: please trim quoted text when posting. The previous replies are only quoted to give the reader context. We probably only need the context of the last one or two replies, not of several.

It's been a while since I dealt with that beast called syslog-ng, but
looking at your .conf I see:
log { source(local); filter(f_3); filter(f_4); filter(f_5); filter(f_6);
destination(d_3); };
Single log entries can easily match many of those filters leading to
duplicate entries all being written to d_3
The final flag is what deals with that. Use it in your filters to stop
processing for that message when matched.
I can't explain the change since 3.4.8 - perhaps it's a bug fix that
didn;t make it into the ChangeLog?

[gentoo-user] syslog-ng problem after updating to 3.8
Hi. I was using syslog-ng 3.7 without any errors, but after upgrading
to 3.8, every day during my cron.daily, I get two copies of the message
which says
error: syslog-ng:7 duplicate log entry for /var/log/messages
I could not find any release notes to tell me what they did which would
cause this error -- anybody have a clue?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

[gentoo-user] Canon LBP7100Cn/LBP7110Cw printers
Hi, Canon LBP7100Cn/LBP7110Cw now have an official linux "support" from the manufacter with their driver Linux_UFRIILT_PrinterDriver_V100_us_EN.tar.gz . I have spent 2 days trying to make it work on gentoo, without success. Even people on Ubuntu, which is a distribution supposed to have been tested by Canon, fail to use it. Did someone meet some success printing on these printers from gentoo ? I can provide a preliminary ebuild if someone is interested. -- Hervé
