No! Not until you get a working version installed. Portage needs |
| 32 |
python. Someone correct me if I misstep here: |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
emerge the new python, run the python updater and let it emerge whatever |
| 35 |
packages it needs to rebuild, check to make sure nothing still needs the |
| 36 |
old version and then you can unmerge the old one. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
I think that is the correct way. |

It is also safer to keep a spare copy of some things around in case you |
| 41 |
mess up to. man make-conf and look for buildsyspkg. |
