FWIW, here (and see below for the Gentoo versions):

GNU bash, version 4.0.28(2)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)

That's current ~amd64 as of yesterday's sync.

I haven't run python-updater in some time but it ran fine when I ran it 
last.  I do need to run it again since python-3.1 was just in yesterday's 
updates, tho, and see what happens.

Meanwhile, I've had exactly zero problems with eselect, but I don't use 
that many modules of it as I manage a lot of what it does, like the 
kernel symlink, the make.profile symlink, etc, manually.

Here's my bash, python and python-updater versions:

$equery l bash python
 * Searching for bash ...
[IP-] [ ~] app-shells/bash-4.0_p28 (0)

 * Searching for python ...
[IP-] [ ~] dev-lang/python-2.6.2-r1 (2.6)
[IP-] [ ~] dev-lang/python-3.1 (3.1)

 * Searching for python-updater ...
[IP-] [ ~] app-admin/python-updater-0.7 (0)
$

Are you full ~amd64, or did you package.keyword bash?  If you're running 
a mixed ~arch/stable system, it's possible that's the problem, tho it 
doesn't look like it should be python-updater itself, since 0.7 is the 
highest available for both stable and ~arch.

Here's a depth-2 depends graph for the 4.0 p28 bash version:

$equery g --depth=2 bash-4.0_p28
 * Searching for bash ...
 * dependency graph for app-shells/bash-4.0_p28:
`-- app-shells/bash-4.0_p28
 `-- sys-libs/ncurses-5.7-r1
  `-- sys-libs/gpm-1.20.6 [gpm]
  `-- sec-policy/selinux-gpm (unable to resolve: package masked or 
removed)
 `-- virtual/libintl-0 (virtual/libintl) [nls]
  `-- sys-devel/gettext-0.17 [elibc_FreeBSD]
[ app-shells/bash-4.0_p28 stats: packages (5), max depth (2) ]
$

python-updater itself doesn't seem to have any significant dependencies, 
just a package manager (portage, pkgcore or paludis), at the first level.
