This issue also applies to the stable net-analyzer/net-snmp-5.4.2.1, bug encountered on a testing system. (~amd64). To reproduce, just type: USE="${USE} python" emerge net-snmp *using Python 2.6. *Note that all ebuilds for dev-python/setuptools have the line NEED_PYTHON="2.4". Workaround (to get it to compile, lacks python of course): echo "net-analyzer/net-snmp -python" >> /etc/portage/package.use Let me know if additional information is required. relevant emerge output is: =build error= make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/net-analyzer/net-snmp-5.4.2.1-r1/work/net-snmp-5.4.2.1/perl/TrapReceiver' make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/net-analyzer/net-snmp-5.4.2.1-r1/work/net-snmp-5.4.2.1/perl' Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 2, in <module> from setuptools import setup, Extension, find_packages ImportError: No module named setuptools make: *** [pythonmodules] Error 1 Call stack just indicates the build failed, included anyway: * ebuild.sh, line 49: Called src_compile * environment, line 3602: Called die * The specific snippet of code: * emake -j1 || die "emake failed"; * The die message: * emake failed

In these cases, the very first question is: did you use python-updater after upgrading from python 2.5 to 2.6 ?
Apparently not. Doing so allows it to compile with the python useflag enabled, so no bug. I'll go ahead and mark as invalid.
