after installing dev-lang/python-2.4.1 +X +berkdb -bootstrap -build -debug -doc +gdbm -ipv6 +ncurses -nocxx +readline +ssl +tcltk -ucs2 (and starting /usr/sbin/python-updater, which is here irrelevant to the bug) fsh shows such an error: ============================================ Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/fsh", line 6, in ? import fsh File "/usr/share/fsh/fsh.py", line 28, in ? import fshlib File "/usr/share/fsh/fshlib.py", line 24, in ? import fshcompat File "/usr/share/fsh/fshcompat.py", line 67, in ? import FCNTL ImportError: No module named FCNTL ================================================== unmerging 'emerge --unmerge python-2.4.1' helps
(the system is build with ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86")
Thanks Paul, I added a patch that should make it work with all versions of Python. Fixed in CVS.
