linkchecker-2.4 (current stable) requires python 2.4, but the DEPEND-info requires only python-2.3.3. So I get this after a regular system update: # linkchecker This program requires Python 2.4 or later. # python -V Python 2.3.4 Workaround: Put ">=net-analyzer/linkchecker-2.4" in /etc/portage/package.mask.
Ah yeah I'm using python-2.4 on all my boxen so I didn't even notice. Thanks for the heads up. >=2.4 is now package.mask'd.
