I try to update my machine, from a more than a year old gentoo system to a current system. Lot of packages can't build because python3 has replaced by python3.1. Also I can not start python-updater any more. Result is '/usr/bin/python3' is not valid symlink What a pitty! # eselect python list [1] python2.6 * [2] python3.1 Why python-updater will take python3? I've emerged python-updater also, but the same result. Is there a simple way to force python-updater to use the right? My way was to create a new /usr/bin/python3 symlink to python3.1 but I think this could be done automatically by python-updater. Reproducible: Always
dev-lang/python ebuilds call 'eselect python update ...' to create appropriate symlinks. There was a short period of time, when these ebuilds weren't calling these commands. Please manually set active version of Python 3 using 'eselect python update --python3' or reinstall =dev-lang/python-3*.
