Subject: [gentoo-user] Python 2.4.6 getting pulled in

1 I have been running Python 2.5* on my Gentoo system ever since it went
2 stable x86. Today I ran an `emerge --update --deep --newuse
3 --with-bdeps y world -avt` and saw that python-2.4.6 was being pulled
4 into a new slot. I have no idea why an old version of python is being
5 pulled in since python is showing up at the root of a dependency tree,
6 marked in bold (I'm pretty sure that means it's pulled in from world).
7
8 I can't for the life of me find any package that requires python that
9 forces version 2.4.6 or <2.5. I have Django installed, which requires
10 >=python-2.5[sqlite], but I have the sqlite use flag enabled on my
11 current install of Python. No combination of equery depends and
12 qdepends will show me any packages that would be pulling in this old Python.
13
14 Does anyone know what might be pulling in this old python?
15
16 Thanks,
17 Chris
