16 This change broke a stable system in my case without any of these features.
17
18 world upgrade failed with * ERROR: dev-python/pycairo-1.10.0-r5::gentoo
19 failed (configure phase): due to
20 /usr/bin/env: ‘python’: No such file or directory
21
22 system ended up with a broken symlink
23 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Jan 21 13:55
24 /usr/bin/python -> python-wrapper
25
26 additionally the original upgrade, after manually setting the updated
27 symlink, ended up with a
28 python-exec: Invalid impl in /etc/python-exec/python-exec.conf: python3.3
29
30 How was this allowed into stable?
