Do you still have python2.2 available? Is there a broken symlink? Did you modify your python path in the environment? type -p python2.2 What is the output? Can you follow that and see what happens if you find a binary and run it?

Python2.2 is broken on your systems... Only thing I can suggest is removing those symlinks and maybe yanking the /usr/lib/python2.2 directory. Python guys: Aware of any explanation for this?
Anyone have ages on the boxes with problems? Install stages timestamps? Randomy really old file? ls -l /usr/bin/python2.2 ls -lL /usr/bin/python2.2

Okay. Worked here too. How did this get messed up? I simply installed 2.0.50-r1 when it was released. I don't mess with python at all.
Reopen if this pops up again.
I just experienced the same bug after i upgraded to portage-2.1_pre10-r2 . My symptoms are similar but not identical. Neither python2.3 nor python2.4 work for me now.
