Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2014-03-16 19:45:10 UTC
With the removal of app-misc/media-player-info-17, the user that does not want python3, are forced to install it.

Please restore the version 17, which maintain the compatibility with python2.
Comment 1 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-03-17 09:41:04 UTC
older version, older database, no hwdb support. no, i'm not going to keep around older version just so people can avoid a DEPEND

you should be able to --depclean python3 after building media-player-info as ${PYTHON_DEPS} is only in DEPEND
if that doesn't work as expected, feel free to reopen

It does not work.

netbook ~ # emerge -cpv python:3.3

Try `emerge --depclean --with-bdeps=n python:3.3'

Comment 5 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-04-06 11:18:40 UTC
$ grep DEPEND /usr/portage/eclass/python-any-r1.eclass

no results, except commented out

$ grep inherit ~/gentoo-x86/eclass/python-any-r1.eclass

inherit python-utils-r1

$ grep DEPEND /usr/portage/eclass/python-utils-r1.eclass 

no results, except commented out

so, no dependency is added by the eclasses python-any-r1 or python-utils-r1 to the ebuild, and PYTHON_DEPS is only in DEPEND

therefore, this is not a bug in media-player-info, and not a bug in the eclasses either
so i don't know what else to do, except reassign to dev-portage@ as the portage output is a bit unclear, they can propably clarify it for you

^ indeed, looks to be sys-apps/portage specific
Comment 7 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-04-06 11:20:55 UTC
maybe you should just do `emerge -C python:3.3` or even `emerge -C --nodeps python:3.3'`
maybe there is some internal logic in portage's code that doesn't allow depcleaning of unused python versions
