Um, yes it does have something to say about blockers. It explicitly |
| 12 |
states that python-2.3.6-r2 conflicts with something else (probably |
| 13 |
python-updater): |

You have a python-2.3 and python-2.4 on your system,probably left over |
| 23 |
from ages ago, as emerge will not by default unmerge an older SLOT when |
| 24 |
you install a newer SLOT of a package. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
You can probably get rid of python-2.3 safely, but first find out what |
| 27 |
is using it: |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
equery depends =dev-lang/python-2.3.5-r3 |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
If nothing, then unmerge it, but first you might want to make a backup |
| 32 |
(just in case): |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
quickpkg =dev-lang/python-2.3.5-r3 |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
then run python-updater |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
Now do |
| 39 |
emerge -avuND world |
| 40 |
to make sure everything is up to date followed by |
| 41 |
emerge -av --depclean |
| 42 |
and |
| 43 |
revdep-rebuild |
