Wasted hours of my own time (and the time of others, as well). Attempted to install gnome-base:libgnome-keyring-3.12.0-r1. The compile died with the following message: ERROR: setup No Python implementation found for the build. This is usually a bug in the ebuild. Please report it to bugs.gentoo.org along with the build log. ERROR: gnome-base/libgnome-keyring-3.12.0-r1::gentoo failed (setup phase): No supported Python implementation installed. Call stack: ebuild.sh, line 125: Called pkg_setup ebuild.sh, line 355: Called python-any-r1_pkg_setup python-any-r1.eclass, line 361: Called python_setup python-any-r1.eclass, line 349: Called die The specific snippet of code: die "No supported Python implementation installed." It turns out that I still had 2.7.15 as my Python 2.7 version, and the portage tree has only 2.7.17-r2 and 2.7.18 (nobody in the forum suggested this as a possibility, so I will claim this doesn't fall into the "obvious error" category). I (and perhaps others in the future) would appreciate it if the error message simply said something like "Can't find Python 2.7.17-r2 or 2.7.18)." The 2.7.15 version most likely would have worked if portage allowed it, so I didn't consider that as the source of the problem, and I would have expected a reminder from portage to update Python 2.7 before attempting to compile this.
Under normal circumstances, end-users should never see this error message. You only got that error because the libgnome-keyring ebuild uses the python-any-r1 eclass incorrectly.
