[gentoo-user] python emerge appears to have broken my python man page symlink

[Dan Farrell]

Hey all.  I updated my home server today, and while looking through
the resultant emails from portage, I find this message from the python
emerge 
| Subject: package dev-lang/python-2.4.3-r4 merged on zeus.spore.ath.cx
|          with notice
| Date: Thu, 10 May 2007 09:45:15 -0500
|
| WARN: postrm
| /usr/share/man/man1/python.1.gz is a dead symlink.
Looking to the changelog, I find
|  10 May 2007; Bryan <C3><98>stergaard <kloeri@gentoo.org>
|  +python-2.3.6-r2.ebuild, +python-2.4.4-r3.ebuild,
| +python-2.5.1-r1.ebuild: Change threads USE flag to nothreads, fix
| non-linux linker issue and fix man-page symlink.
Is this a bug with the ebuild, my friends?  Or is it my system which is
the source of the problem?  Looks like i'm finally the first to run
into something ; )
				With Sincerity,

Emerge --sync and update python. I've fixed this earlier today.
