[gentoo-user] Python-updater always adds packages to list

[Nilesh Govindarajan]

Hi,

I installed gentoo on a new vps, and updated it to latest stuff. Funny
thing is, irrespective of the number of times I run python-updater, the
same packages are added at every run. Earlier the installation had
python 2.6. Updated to 2.7 and --depclean'd 2.6. Now it has 2.6 & 3.2
with 3.2 as main active version.

 * Starting Python Updater...
 * Main active version of Python:  3.2
 * Active version of Python 2:     2.7
 * Active version of Python 3:     3.2
 * check "shared_linking" enabled.
 * check "static_linking" enabled.
 * check "pylibdir" enabled.
 * check "manual" enabled.
 * check "need_rebuild" enabled.
 * Adding to list: dev-libs/libxml2:2
 * check: PYTHON_ABIS [ Previous Python ABIs: , new Python ABIs: 2.7 ]
 * Adding to list: dev-libs/libxslt:0
 * check: PYTHON_ABIS [ Previous Python ABIs: , new Python ABIs: 2.7 ]
 * Adding to list: sys-apps/file:0
 * check: PYTHON_ABIS [ Previous Python ABIs: , new Python ABIs: 2.7 3.2 ]
 * Adding to list: sys-libs/cracklib:0
 * check: PYTHON_ABIS [ Previous Python ABIs: , new Python ABIs: 2.7 ]
 * emerge -Dv1 --keep-going -p dev-libs/libxml2:2 dev-libs/libxslt:0
sys-apps/file:0 sys-libs/cracklib:0

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[binary   R    ] dev-libs/libxml2-2.7.8-r3  USE="ipv6 readline -debug
-doc -examples -icu -python -static-libs -test" 0 kB
[binary   R    ] sys-apps/file-5.09  USE="zlib -python -static-libs" 0 kB
[binary   R    ] dev-libs/libxslt-1.1.26-r2  USE="crypt -debug -python
-static-libs" 0 kB
[binary   R    ] sys-libs/cracklib-2.8.18-r1  USE="nls -python
-static-libs" 0 kB

Total: 4 packages (4 reinstalls, 4 binaries), Size of downloads: 0 kB

I know it is showing binary package, but I have tried with
python-updater -- --usepkg=n. It compiles all of them, but on the next
run again I get this.
