102 I notice some depend on the new python which should be OK since it is
103 staying but is it safe to remove the old python?
104
105 Also, I know the kernels are safe but what about subversion, apr and
106 friends? I thought portage used subversion or something?
107
108 While I am at it, can equery tell me what depends on that specific
109 version of a package? It seems to just list everything that depends on
110 python period the way I am doing it now. Is there a better tool to
111 check on this?
112
113 Thanks
