In the forums and in #gentoo IRC the following problem was brought to my attention: Users running old systems with EAPI=2 portage will receive the following message when trying to upgrade python: !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=sys-devel/libtool-2.2.6b" have been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - sys-devel/libtool-9999 (masked by: missing keyword) - sys-devel/libtool-2.4-r1 (masked by: EAPI 3) - sys-devel/libtool-2.2.10 (masked by: EAPI 3) This is because python inherits from autotools.eclass, which depends on >=sys-devel/libtool-2.2.6b I suggest to have an EAPI<3 ebuild for >=libtool-2.2.6b restored, which would help users upgrading their old systems.
i'm not keeping around old ebuilds just for this http://sources.gentoo.org/sys-devel/libtool/libtool-2.2.10.ebuild?r1=1.10&r2=1.11 http://sources.gentoo.org/sys-devel/libtool/libtool-2.4-r1.ebuild?r1=1.3&r2=1.4
