• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo/Alt

 * collisions. If necessary, refer to your elog messages for the whole
 * content of the above message.

it actually fails because the shebang is still set to the tmp python. (and the exit status is non zero)

Still have the usr/bin/python is not a symlink issue.
