Bug 457798 – app-portage/pfl-2.3-r2: cron-script doesn't run since 'python2' is not supported.

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Stefan Wimmer 2013-02-16 09:07:24 UTC]

Running the default cron-script from app-portage/pfl results in this error message: "This Python implementation (python2) is not supported by the script."

Changing 'python2' in the script to 'python2.7' resolves the problem though.

Removing "python2 -O" from the script works, too. That will run it using python2.7. (I use python3.2 as default interpreter.)

@python: This is a result from the recent migration to distutils-r1. What would be the correct action for this cron file?

Just drop the "python2 -O" entirely. This will cause python-exec to utilize whatever compatible version of python is available on the system.

exec nice /usr/bin/pfl >/dev/null

Fixed. Thank you all.
