Description gentoo 2011-11-05 11:43:06 UTC 
E.g. gnome-sudoku fails to start. The first line of /usr/bin/gnome-sudoku reads:
#! /usr/bin/env python

If this is changed to
#! /usr/bin/env python2

it works.


Reproducible: Always

Reopen cause 2.28.2 (even stabilized) and 2.30.2-r1 are still affected.
