sys-libs/tdb installs its python module to python2.6/site-packages although python-2.7 is available and active. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set python2.7 to the default Python interpreter. Have python2.6 installed (e.g. during python-updater run). 2. emerge -pv sys-libs/tdb These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!
