That is correct. Now that I've done some checking, the message occurs |
| 23 |
when I use the "-B" option to emerge. But I also have seen it following |
| 24 |
an emerge --sync. |

I have python-3.1.1 and python-2.6.3 installed. It was not my intention |
| 30 |
to install both; portage/emerge just did it automatically. By the |
| 31 |
time I noticed this dual installation my system was in place for some time |
| 32 |
and running without problems, so I just left things that way. Python-updater |
| 33 |
(run without options) doesn't report any anomaly. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
What python version should I be using as the system python, 2.6.3 or |
| 36 |
3.1.1? Should I delete the older version and run python-updater? |
