[gentoo-user] python-2.5.2-r7 build problems

[Mark Knecht]

Hi,
   I had two machine that for some reason wouldn't build the 2.5 slot
for python. I've waited weeks for the possibility that something would
get cleaned up in portage or on a server somewhere but as of yet it
hasn't happened. For kicks today I cleaned out distfiles and did an
emerge -e @system but it failed the same way. I'm wondering what to
try next?

   Is it allowable to remove ebuilds by hand? Will an eix-sync get new
versions if ebuilds are missing and I change the servers that the
machine is pointing to?

   Looking for ideas about how to move forward.

Thanks,
Mark
