Subject: [gentoo-user] unable to downgrade python

hi...

i'm unable to downgrade python:

# emerge python-2.1.1-r4.ebuild
Calculating dependencies \

!!! ebuild dev-lang/python-2.1.1-r4 not found (possibly blocked by
package.mask)


but:
# grep -li "python-2.1.1-r4" /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask
Exit 1


hmm... is it possible, that python-2.1.1-r4 depends on an ebuild, that
is blocked by package.mask?

Try:
emerge =python-2.1.1-r4

or:
emerge \<python-2.2

Just don't forget you also need the 2.2 python for portage to run

other (old) ebuilds are working:

bash-2.05a# emerge =links-0.96       
Calculating dependencies ...done!
>>> emerge net-www/links-0.96 to /
