Description matszpk 2021-06-14 13:17:14 UTC

Like in summary. The installation failed due to bug in python.
I found solution in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=980906 and apply it and after that python-3.9.5 has been installed.
This bug applied to version since 3.9.2. I was trying build versions 3.9.4-3.9.5.
A bug can be easily applied by simple change in some line in _collections_abc.py file:

class _CallableGenericAlias(GenericAlias):

to:

class _CallableGenericAlias(list[int]):

It will be good, when that patch will be added to this package.

Please attach the complete build log and 'emerge --info'.  I have serious doubts about applying a workaround from a Debian bug that was closed invalid.

Unsure what this error is about, but I did see someone run into this on the forums:
