Description Rene Androsch 2004-01-03 10:43:12 UTC

Since emerge -pvUD world tells me, that it wants to update python to 2.3.2-r2, I did it.
After that, java-config didn't work anymore giving strange errors.

I downgraded to 2.2.3-r5 and java-config works again!
I think, there is a dependency missing, or something, or java-config should be upgraded to work also in python-2.3.2-r2 and newer!

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -pvUD python
2.
3.

Could we have some more information? How does it not work, for example, and what version of java-config are you using?

cause java-config works fine over here with python-2.3.x ;)

Did you run /usr/portage/dev-lang/python/files/python-updater after updating python? Java-config won't find its modules if you forget this.

Comment 4 Rene Androsch 2004-01-06 07:37:55 UTC

Now I did it again, with Python 2.3.3 and this time I ran: /usr/portage/dev-lang/python/files/python-updater

and it automatically upgraded all packages. Those it didn't update, were nicely printed out, so that I could do it -> perfect!


Just one little thing bothers me: I compiled qt with USE="python" and some other components. Does this do any harm?
