app-portage/distpatch-0.1.2-r1 has PYTHON_COMPAT=( python2_7 ) some other packages that depend on dev-python/snakeoil, such as sys-apps/pkgcore-0.10.3 have something like: PYTHON_COMPAT=( python3_{6,7} ) now, dev-python/snakeoil-0.7.5 has PYTHON_COMPAT=( python{2_7,3_5,3_6,3_7} ) ^ works with both but newer version: dev-python/snakeoil/snakeoil-0.8.3 supports only Python 3: PYTHON_COMPAT=( python3_{6,7} ) So it's not possible to have distpatch and (for example) pkgcore with new version of snakeoil on the same system. Also, it's 2019 already. ;) Reproducible: Always
Ping. This is one of the two remaining blockers for Portage.
fixed. sorry for the long wait.
