Hi all, |
| 2 |
|

I had an older machine "appliance" (mythtv-frontend) that hadn't had an |
| 4 |
update in a while (migrated to 29.1 yesterday/today.) |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I searched around on the mailing list as portage advised updating itself |
| 7 |
but it got itself in a circular dependency with python and wanted to |
| 8 |
install an unstable version of portage as a result, which I didn't want. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
After wasting 30 minutes waiting for portage to calculate dependencies |
| 11 |
(using --backtrack=1000) I got po'ed and forced python to install using |
| 12 |
--nodeps. This worked, I was able to install portage and continue |
| 13 |
updating my system from there. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
The problem is there's no more python-updater to make sure that python |
| 16 |
is in a sane state. Any suggestions for making sure python is actually |
| 17 |
in a sane state? |
