The root of the problem is really quite simple, you have a system with |
| 5 |
a python version python-updater doesn't like. The solution is actually |
| 6 |
quite simple: |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
step 1. update python to 2.5, rebuild cracklib (afaik cracklib is the |
| 9 |
only system package that requires python), portage, gentookit. |
| 10 |
step 2. at this point, you can unmerge the old python, some packages |
| 11 |
*will* break, but you will still have a console that works fine, and |
| 12 |
your portage is built against the 2.5. |
| 13 |
step 3. emerge python-updater, since no python-2.3 is present, it'll |
| 14 |
emerge happily. |
| 15 |
step 4. run python-updater |
| 16 |
step 5. voila |
