getbinpkg.py would do what its name implies, check for binary packages. |
| 13 |
Standard from-source emerging should work fine, as you noted it seems to, |
| 14 |
but if you run FEATURES=buildpkg as I do, or otherwise have binary |
| 15 |
packages available, it's likely you'll have trouble merging them when you |
| 16 |
try. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
The problem is likely related to portage's interaction with python. Do |
| 19 |
you have both python-3 and python 2.5 or 2.6 merged? The newest versions |
| 20 |
of python packages and portage itself should work fine in that case, but |
| 21 |
the fixes necessary to make it work are fairly recent, so you may have to |
| 22 |
remerge various python packages (some may require the newest ~arch |
| 23 |
version) so they setup modules for both python 3 and python 2.x -- |
| 24 |
formerly they only setup modules in whatever python happened to be the |
| 25 |
system python at the time. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
But if you don't bother with binary packages anyway, at least that |
| 28 |
message shouldn't be an issue for you, you should be able to simply |
| 29 |
ignore it. |
