Copying python 2.3 and all of the files that epm -ql lists for python 2.3 from an identical machine does not fix the problem. The error message remains..... I was probably not right about python 2.3.3 not being the default for the setup on this machine.... Now what?!! Solved... the python 2.3 copy worked... still had to repoint the symbolic /usr/bin/python link to python version 2.3..... Why does emerge not prohibit the removal of packages that it itself depends on? As you already discovered unmerging python isn't a good idea.. The forums has a faq entry describing stuff you should never unmerge and possible ways to fix it if you happen to unmerge them anyway. See http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=33609 |
