run python-updater when updating to python 2.5
I had the same problem, with only python-2.5 installed. Running python-updater merely reported: * Can't determine any previous Python version(s). The solution was removing pygtk and installing vte, i.e. emerge -C pygtk emerge vte Since vte depends on pygtk, the second command installed pygtk for me.
