Bug 639578 – app-select/eselect-python shows non-existent python versions

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Cedric Sodhi 2017-12-03 08:41:20 UTC]

eselect python list shows "python3.4" although it is not installed (was depcleaned in favour of 3.5)

[Comment 1 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) 2017-12-03 12:06:40 UTC]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install 2.7, 3.4.
2. Select 3.4.
3. Install 3.5.
4. Remove 3.4.
5. eselect python list still shows 3.4.
(6. eselect python edit allows its actual removal, but this is not obvious.)
