Description Helmut Jarausch 2020-01-16 17:13:53 UTC

On the way to remove most packages depending on Python2.7,
I failed to remove virtual/python-singledispatch.

The following packages still pull in virtual/python-singledispatch although
they are not installed for Python2.7.

dev-python/mergedict dev-python/numba dev-python/rpy 
net-misc/livestreamer net-misc/streamlink www-servers/tornado

It is not a bug for packages to depend a virtual which may be more than one package.  Even if it the language itself.  See all the perl virtuals for reference
