After upgrading to python3.10 and removing python3.9, app-emulation/virtualbox fails to configure because of the line in configure: SUPPYTHONLIBS="python2.7 python2.6 python3.1 python3.2 python3.3 python3.4 python3.4m python3.5 python3.5m python3.6 python3.6m python3.7 python3.7m python3.8 python3.8m python3.9 python3.9m" This is used by configure to find python... Adding "python3.10" to this list makes virtualbox compile. Other people didn't notice before because they had not removed all python implementations except python3.10. In this case, virtualbox will silently be built against python3.9, no matter what the ebuild says... Reproducible: Always
Created attachment 785417 [details, diff] Add "python3.10" to the list of implementations searched by configure
It'd be worth when applying this patch to add a note above PYTHON_COMPAT in the ebuild.
