The source of the message is the portage > getbinpkg.py file, but I don't know the purpose of this file. getbinpkg.py would do what its name implies, check for binary packages. =20 Standard from-source emerging should work fine, as you noted it seems to,= =20 but if you run FEATURES=3Dbuildpkg as I do, or otherwise have binary=20 packages available, it's likely you'll have trouble merging them when you= =20 try. The problem is likely related to portage's interaction with python. Do=20 you have both python-3 and python 2.5 or 2.6 merged? The newest versions= =20 of python packages and portage itself should work fine in that case, but=20 the fixes necessary to make it work are fairly recent, so you may have to= =20 remerge various python packages (some may require the newest ~arch=20 version) so they setup modules for both python 3 and python 2.x --=20 formerly they only setup modules in whatever python happened to be the=20 system python at the time. But if you don't bother with binary packages anyway, at least that=20 message shouldn't be an issue for you, you should be able to simply=20 ignore it. --=20 Duncan - List replies preferred.
