[gentoo-user] Unmerge python?

[gentoo-user] Unmerge python?

[Grant]

I'm getting the following from portage on a critical remote system:

<dev-lang/python-2.3.6-r2 (is blocking app-admin/python-updater-0.5,
app-admin/python-updater-0.2)

Am I suppose to un-emerge python?

Perhaps you should update your python. Version 2.3 will be removed from 
portage and is currently hardmasked. That triggers the depency bump.

'emerge -pv python' wants to install python-2.5.2-r5 in a new slot.
Should I unmerge python, emerge the new python, and run
python-updater?  Will portage work once python has been unmerged?  I'm
being cautious because this is a highly critical system for me.

Only if you already have python:2.4 installed. Either way, quickpkg
python before you do anything rash.

If memory serves me correct, update python with the new slot, run 
python-updater and then you should be able to unmerge the old python.  I 
would double check to make sure nothing depends on the old one before 
removing it tho.  Python is something you do not want to be without.  I 
seem to recall that portage uses python so removing it would be . . . 
'bad'. 

As was mentioned in another thread, you can set it up so that portage 
will save a copy of your packages just in case.  You can set it to do 
them all or just the system ones.  I think everybody should have it set 
to at least system.

NO, do not unemerge python befor installing the new one!!!

It looks like your python is quite old. do you have version 2.4 
installed? Then just do emerge -C =dev-lang/python-2.3.6-r2 and run 
python-updater afterwards. Otherwise try to emerge python 2.5 in the new 
slot, run the python-updater and remove version 2.3 afterwards.
Nevertheless after updating  python-updater you should run " 
python-updater -ee -v -p" to see what should be still updated.

You should emerge python-2.5, then run python-updater and then unmerge old
python...

Nooooooooooo! You can't have a gentoo system without python - portage 
heavily uses python scripts. This is even worse than unmerging gcc.

The general sequence (and ALWAYS read the ebuilds - especially the 
*DEPEND sections and act appropriately) is:

merge new python in new SLOT
run python updater
check carefully that everything works properly
unmerge python in old SLOT

"A stitch in time" is your watchword here

Yes, you can, as long as you don't use portage.

That'll teach me to be less vague more specific :-)

I've emerged python-2.5 in the new slot, but I can't upgrade from
python-updater-0.2 to python-updater-0.5 until I un-emerge python-2.3.
 Should I run python-updater-0.2 now, or un-emerge python-2.3, update
to python-updater-0.5, and run that?  If it depends on if I have
python-2.4 installed or not, how can I check on that?

That shouldn't happen; there's no rationale in this, unless I'm missing 
something.

You shouldn't unmerge old python unless the new one is made fully 
functional.  Post the exact error emerge gives when you try to update 
python-updater.

The safest course is run python-updater-0.2, unmerge python-2.3, update
python-updater then run the new version.

You shouldn't break too much by unmerging the old version before you run
python-updater. A few things may not work, but portage will be fine. As
with any important system package, quickpkg it before unmerging.

Except I don't think python-updator will know what the old version of
python was so you might have to pass -o 2.3 or whatever.

What *I* would do, and the reason why I think you're having so the
trouble, is that you skipped 2.4.  I would go from 2.3 to 2.4, run
python-updater, then go from 2.4 to 2.5 and run python-updater again.

# emerge -pv python-updater

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
