Run this, emerge -uvDNp world and see if it wants to emerge anything. |
| 27 |
man emerge will tell you what the options are for but the -N is the |
| 28 |
important part. Also, you may want to run python-updater as well just |
| 29 |
to see if it picks up anything. Basically, you want to make sure |
| 30 |
everything is using the new version of python before removing the old. |
| 31 |
--depclean has no clue on that one. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Also, anytime you run --depclean, run revdep-rebuild -i afterwards just |
| 34 |
in case something did get messed up. Always do that before you log out |
| 35 |
or reboot. I have been known to switch to another console and login |
| 36 |
before logging out of the other one. Just to be sure. |
| 37 |

Be very careful with --depclean. It can really mess up something if you |
| 39 |
are not watching close. Ask first if you're not sure. |
