Bugzilla Bug 38372

The install portion of the metakit-2.4.9.2-r1 build process fails becuase of a
`file not found' error.  I am using Python 2.3.3.  The ebuild expects a folder
called python-2.3 where there is only python-2.2

-=QUICK FIX=-

after the:
>>> Install metakit-2.4.9.2-r1 into /var/tmp/portage/metakit-2.4.9.2-r1/image/ category dev-db
line, pause the process (ctrl-z) and run this command:
ln -s  /var/tmp/portage/metakit-2.4.9.2-r1/image/usr/lib/python2.2 
/var/tmp/portage/metakit-2.4.9.2-r1/image/usr/lib/python2.3

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge metakit
Actual Results:
