Description Sven 2009-08-16 21:08:55 UTC 
Hi,

many ebuilds (such as pygobject and pygtk) rely on the
alternatives_auto_makesym function.

At least pygobject and pygtk rely on the fact, that python.eclass
inherits alternatives.eclass. But this has been changed:

http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/eclass/python.eclass?r1=1.64&r2=1.65

And now these python packages are broken. pygobject and pygtk become
unusable. Many more python packages may be affected.

Fix this fast!
Python 2.6 just went stable on x86 and many people will use python-update which recompiled pygtk and pygobject.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Could you provide the list of packages?

These packages should directly inherit alternatives.eclass. python.eclass shouldn't inherit alternatives.eclass.

$ grep -lr alternatives_ /usr/portage/*-* |xargs -d "\n" grep -L "inherit.*alternatives"
/usr/portage/dev-python/pygtk/pygtk-2.14.1.ebuild
/usr/portage/dev-python/pygtk/pygtk-2.12.1-r2.ebuild
/usr/portage/dev-python/pygtk/pygtk-2.14.1-r1.ebuild
/usr/portage/dev-python/pygobject/pygobject-2.18.0.ebuild
/usr/portage/dev-python/pygobject/pygobject-2.16.1.ebuild
/usr/portage/dev-python/pygobject/pygobject-2.14.2.ebuild
/usr/portage/dev-python/pygobject/pygobject-2.15.4.ebuild
/usr/portage/dev-python/pygobject/pygobject-2.16.0.ebuild
/usr/portage/dev-python/pygobject/pygobject-2.16.1-r1.ebuild
/usr/portage/dev-python/pygobject/pygobject-2.14.0.ebuild


So I was wrong, there are not so many ebuilds. But they are important.

Completely unrelated.
