If memory serves me correct, update python with the new slot, run |
| 25 |
python-updater and then you should be able to unmerge the old python. I |
| 26 |
would double check to make sure nothing depends on the old one before |
| 27 |
removing it tho. Python is something you do not want to be without. I |
| 28 |
seem to recall that portage uses python so removing it would be . . . |
| 29 |
'bad'. |

As was mentioned in another thread, you can set it up so that portage |
| 32 |
will save a copy of your packages just in case. You can set it to do |
| 33 |
them all or just the system ones. I think everybody should have it set |
| 34 |
to at least system. |
