I just installed python 2.6 (dev-lang/python-2.6-r2). Then I ran python-updater, and nothing will emerge... everything gets a sandbox violation. All the violations look the same: --------------------------- ACCESS VIOLATION SUMMARY --------------------------- LOG FILE = "/var/log/sandbox/sandbox-20684.log" mkdir: /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/setuptools -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- That's for setuptools (obviously) but every other python ebuild fails in exactly the same way. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge python 2.6 2. emerge any python ebuild (such as dev-python/setuptools) 3. there is not step 3 # emerge --info WARNING: repository at

Maybe it's the same issue as in bug #240149 ? Could you try this: eselect python set python2.5 eselect python set python2.6
You are correct - selecting the old python then the new one solved the problem. Many thanks! *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 240149 ***
