OK. Right now, as you type this, what package depends on python-3 and |
| 31 |
won't work with python-2? Anything at all? If it is nothing, then why |
| 32 |
install it? |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Since python-3 is not what the system is using, it's not getting used |
| 35 |
even if it is installed. So as I mentioned in another reply, portage is |
| 36 |
installing something and it is just sitting there doing nothing. What |
| 37 |
is the point in that? |
