Re: [gentoo-user] Unmerge python?
I'm getting the following from portage on a critical remote system: dev-lang/python-2.3.6-r2 (is blocking app-admin/python-updater-0.5, app-admin/python-updater-0.2) Am I suppose to un-emerge python? - Grant 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. - Grant NO, do not unemerge python befor installing the new one!!! It looks like your python is quite old. do you have version 2.4 installed? Then just do emerge -C =dev-lang/python-2.3.6-r2 and run python-updater afterwards. Otherwise try to emerge python 2.5 in the new slot, run the python-updater and remove version 2.3 afterwards. Nevertheless after updating python-updater you should run python-updater -ee -v -p to see what should be still updated. I've emerged python-2.5 in the new slot, but I can't upgrade from python-updater-0.2 to python-updater-0.5 until I un-emerge python-2.3. Should I run python-updater-0.2 now, or un-emerge python-2.3, update to python-updater-0.5, and run that? If it depends on if I have python-2.4 installed or not, how can I check on that? - Grant

The safest course is run python-updater-0.2, unmerge python-2.3, update python-updater then run the new version. You shouldn't break too much by unmerging the old version before you run python-updater. A few things may not work, but portage will be fine. As with any important system package, quickpkg it before unmerging. -- Neil Bothwick Shell to DOS... Shell to DOS... DOS, do you copy? Shell to DOS... signature.asc Description: PGP signature

What *I* would do, and the reason why I think you're having so the trouble, is that you skipped 2.4. I would go from 2.3 to 2.4, run python-updater, then go from 2.4 to 2.5 and run python-updater again. -a

You can't have a gentoo system without python - portage heavily uses python scripts. This is even worse than unmerging gcc. The general sequence (and ALWAYS read the ebuilds - especially the *DEPEND sections and act appropriately) is: merge new python in new SLOT run python updater check carefully that everything works properly unmerge python in old SLOT A stitch in time is your watchword here -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
