Hi, there has been a change to the ebuild recently: *python-2.4.3-r2 (26 Aug 2006) 26 Aug 2006; Alastair Tse <liquidx@gentoo.org> +python-2.4.3-r2.ebuild: cleanup 2.4.3 ebuild, fix collisions with slotted versions of pydoc and idle*python-2.4.3-r2 (26 Aug 2006) The code seems to be in pkg_postrm(). This change may be useful, but it's ugly as well, because the symlinks don't get recorded to /var/db/pkg/dev-lang/python-2.4.3-r4/CONTENTS. I almost removed them thinking they were cruft. Maybe this can be done another way?
