Bug 201317 – games-util/mattricks breaks when wxpython-2.8 is installed

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Ryan Hill (RETIRED) 2007-12-05 03:14:00 UTC]

looks like mattricks doesn't work with later versions of wxpython.  the attached patch forces it to use wxpython-2.6 even if a later SLOT is available.

The ebuild already has <dev-python/wxpython-2.8 in the deps.

true, but wxpython is slotted and apps will run against the highest version installed.  if you have both 2.6 and 2.8 on a system, it will pick 2.8 unless you use wxversion to tell it otherwise.
