Description Gary E. Miller 2015-12-09 21:46:18 UTC
After installing app-eselect/eselect-python-20151117-r1 I can no longer run python-updater.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. as root, run: python-updater
Actual Results:  
dagwood ~ # python-updater
 * '/usr/bin/python2' is not valid symlink
# 


Expected Results:  
kong bin # python-updater
 * Starting Python Updater...
 * Main active version of Python:    2.7
[...]

Re-emerging python-updater, eseelct-python, and python:2.7 does not help.

This allows me to run python-updater:

cd /usr/bin
rm python2 python3
ln -s python2.7 python2
ln -s python3.4 python3
Comment 1 Mike Gilbert gentoo-dev 2015-12-09 21:50:01 UTC
This needs to be fixed in python-updater. I'll take a look.

Comment 3 Ivan Iraci 2015-12-10 11:36:31 UTC
Same problem here.
Comment 4 jms 2015-12-10 11:40:11 UTC
app-admin/python-updater-0.13 give same error

and as said above

This allows me to run python-updater:

cd /usr/bin
rm python2 python3
ln -s python2.7 python2
ln -s python3.4 python3

makes python-updater work
Comment 5 Michał Górny archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2015-12-10 12:40:05 UTC
FYI: replacing those executables with symlinks will silently and irrevocably break eselect-python.
Comment 6 Mike Gilbert gentoo-dev 2015-12-10 15:13:05 UTC
My sugestion to anyone hitting this bug: chill out and wait for us to fix python-updater. I plan to do so today.
Comment 7 Mike Gilbert gentoo-dev 2015-12-10 19:41:35 UTC
This should be fixed in python-updater-0.14.
Comment 8 jms 2015-12-10 22:43:19 UTC

Thanks for this warning.
Comment 9 Tommy Holmgren 2015-12-11 00:13:58 UTC
Already fixed in python-updater-0.14

Confirmed.  Thanks!

Note above the "make: ./python-updater: Command not found".


However, it probably works after merging into the Gentoo installation:
