1 Python and Java have taken me days to clean up on an
2 old, mostly unattended system.

5 I'm almost done, but have an issue, I've not seen before.

25 Ok this is strange, as I have rebuild @system on this system
26 and python-updater has moved everything to python 2.6 (???)
27
28 dev-lang/python
29 Available versions:
30 (2.4) 2.4.6
31 (2.5) 2.5.4-r3
32 (2.6) 2.6.2-r1
33 (3.1) ~3.1.1
34 Installed versions: 2.5.4-r2(2.5)
35 2.6.2-r1(2.6)
36
37
38 So what's pulling in python 2.5?
39
40 equery depends dev-lang/pythondev-lang/python-2.5.4-r2
41 Searching for packages depending on
42 dev-lang/python-2.5.4-r2...
43
44 Nothing (?)
45
46
47 So is it OK to unmerge python 2.5? Or do I still need it?
48
49
50 I still get old garbage wanting python 2.5 with
51 emerge -p @preserved-rebuild
52
53 How to proceed is most welcome news to me.
