config-kernel is no longer in portage, just unmerge it; for wxpython, run emerge =dev-python/wxpython-2.4*
I can't see any good way for python-updater to handle this besides failing and leaving it to the user to figure out what needs to happen. We could strip the version in case that specific version doesn't exist anymore but that would break on SLOTed packages. There's also a bunch of other cases that would be fairly tricky to deal with correctly, like packages being renamed / moved to another category / superseeded by other packages etc. With the above problems in mind I'm therefore closing this bug as CANTFIX.
