Bug 556084 – sys-apps/portage-2.2.20 gets ordering incorrect for Python updates

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) 2015-07-28 01:13:20 UTC]

I just ran emerge --sync on a stable amd64 machine followed by emerge -auDNv world. The machine had Python 3.3 installed but not 3.4 yet (the eselect news note about Python 3.4 came out with the emerge --sync). Portage wants to rebuild packages for Python 3.4 before it installs Python 3.4. Here's the output:

Those packages that it wants to rebuild before python:3.4 is installed don't actually require python unless USE="python" is enabled, but you can see that USE="-python" is set for all of them.
