1. Installed sys-libs/db-4.8.24. 2. emerge --depclean * In order to avoid breakage of link level dependencies, one or more * packages will not be removed. This can be solved by rebuilding the * packages that pulled them in. * * sys-libs/db-4.7.25_p4 pulled in by: * dev-lang/python-2.6.2-r1 * 3. Rebuilt dev-lang/python-2.6.2-r1. 4. 'emerge --depclean' gives the same message.
(In reply to comment #1) This happens because the db.h symlink is only set to 4.8 when "the active version" is switched, i.e. 4.7 is unmerged. python does not "really" break, as the db module is unused by portage. So unmerge 4.7, re-merge python and all is fine. The best way forward here would probably be a new eselect-bdb module.
bsddb module is no longer maintained inside Python. Users should use external, still maintained bsddb3 module provided by dev-python/bsddb3. Python 2.6.2 contains Modules/bsddb.h which defines PY_BSDDB_VERSION as "4.7.3". I have adjusted dependencies and added warnings.
