Description Roby 2009-08-10 15:11:57 UTC

superkaramba 4.3.0 emerge script takes the latest python version and does not respect the current python version selected by eselect. I have python version 2.6.2-r1 and 3.1 installed, but eselected version 2.6. If I disable the python use flag (i.e. USE="-python") or if I unemerge python 3.1, superkaramba can be emerged well.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Emerge both python 2.6.2-r1 and 3.1
2. USE="python" emerge -v =superkaramba-4.3.0


Actual Results:  
Superkaramba failed to emerge

Expected Results:  
It should emerge well

Workaround:
Either: unemerge python 3.1, emerge superkaramba, and emerge python 3.1 back
OR: USE="-python" when emerging superkaramba.

dev-util/cmake-2.6.4-r2 with USE="python3" prints this warning:

 * Support for Python 3 is experimental.
 * Please include patches in bug reports!

If you don't have the patch, please reinstall dev-util/cmake with USE="-python3".
