Description Take Vos 2002-04-23 11:43:27 UTC

The new emerge on my system was binded to python2.2 instead of spython.
When I unmerged X11, emerge didn't work anymore as python2.2 was linked to
X11.

This can be helped by setting the *shared* flags in Modules/Setup when 
building python2.2, this was only a python modules is linked to X11 and emerge 
will work as normal.

This in an on-going project, and requires a little bit of finesse while
executing. Don't worry, though, it's one of my highest priorities!

As of earlier today, things should be in order for a shared Python.
I'm closing this bug, but if it doesn't work for you (after rsync'ing, of
course), re-open it with some details.
