I don't know how to upgrade my gentoo system. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. in the shell: emerge -auv world




Expected Results:  
update my system 

I have python-2.5 installed with the ACCEPT keyword. 


here is the complete output of the emerge command:

# emerge  -auv world

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

The message is quite clear. You cannot have a version lower than python-2.3.6-r2 and python-updater-0.5 on the same system. Since you have python-2.1.3-r1 on your system, this is an appropriate error message.

I recommend you clean up your system, unmerge python-2.1.3 if you don't need it (unlikely) and carry on.
