Hi, on several amd64 hosts I hit this error. Per https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1040548-start-0.html the fix is to upgrade to app-admin/python-updater-0.14. I even upgraded to app-eselect/eselect-python-20160516 (from app-eselect/eselect-python-20111108). # eselect python show python2.7 # eselect python list Available Python interpreters, in order of preference: [1] python2.7 [2] python3.4 # eselect python show --python2 python2.7 # eselect python show --python3 python3.4 # eselect python set 1 # eselect python list Available Python interpreters, in order of preference: [1] python2.7 [2] python3.4 # python-updater * '/usr/bin/python2' is not valid symlink # eselect python set --python2 python2.7 # # ls -latr /usr/bin/python* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1463 Apr 10 19:08 /usr/bin/python2.7-config -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 8512 Apr 10 19:08 /usr/bin/python2.7 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2908 Apr 10 19:14 /usr/bin/python3.4m-config -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 13008 Apr 10 19:14 /usr/bin/python3.4m lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Apr 10 19:15 /usr/bin/python3.4-config -> python3.4m-config lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Apr 10 19:15 /usr/bin/python3.4 -> python3.4m -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 18760 Apr 11 01:24 /usr/bin/python-exec2c lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 Apr 11 01:24 /usr/bin/python3-config -> ../lib/python-exec/python-exec2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Apr 11 01:24 /usr/bin/python3 -> python-exec2c lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 Apr 11 01:24 /usr/bin/python2-config -> ../lib/python-exec/python-exec2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Apr 11 01:24 /usr/bin/python2 -> python-exec2c lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 Apr 11 01:24 /usr/bin/python-config -> ../lib/python-exec/python-exec2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Apr 11 01:24 /usr/bin/python -> python-exec2c #
I have no clue why you report a bug when you know it's fixed in a newer version. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 567896 ***
