20 I have a newer version of python already. The one revdep-rebuild is
21 trying to access doesn't even exist in portage. For example, I tried

34 Calculating dependencies ...done!
35 [ebuild R ] dev-lang/python-2.3.5-r2
36
37 I'm at 2.3.5-r2, so I trying to figure out why revdep-rebuild is referencing
