[gentoo-user] dev-python/setuptools conflict when running python-updater

[Walter Dnes]

  I did some updates today.  "emerge --sync" and updated world on my
"production machine".  Things went OK, including running python-updater.
Then I scp'd the contents of /usr/portage/distfiles over to my "hot
backup machine", ran "emerge --sync" (pointing at my production machine)
and updated.  Just like on the main machine, /var/log/portage/elog had
an advisory to run python-updater.  This time, it didn't work...

=======================================================================
d531 elog # /usr/sbin/python-updater
 * Starting Python Updater from 2.4 to 2.5 :
 *   Adding to list: =sys-libs/cracklib-2.8.10
 *   Adding to list: =net-mail/getmail-4.7.6
 *   Adding to list: =app-office/gnumeric-1.8.2
 *   Adding to list: =dev-java/java-config-1.3.7
 *   Adding to list: =dev-java/java-config-2.1.6

 *   Adding to list: =dev-python/setuptools-0.6_rc7-r1
 *   Adding to list: =dev-python/pycrypto-2.0.1-r6

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

Calculating dependencies \
!!! Multiple versions within a single package slot have been 
!!! pulled into the dependency graph:

dev-python/setuptools:0

  ('ebuild', '/', 'dev-python/setuptools-0.6_rc7-r1', 'merge') (no
parents)

  ('ebuild', '/', 'dev-python/setuptools-0.6_rc8-r1', 'merge') pulled in
by
    ('ebuild', '/', 'dev-python/docutils-0.4-r3', 'merge')
=======================================================================

  Masking out =dev-python/setuptools-0.6_rc7-r1 didn't work, so I'm
considering removing it.  Having been burned before when unmerging
core-utils (OUCH!!!) I thought I'd ask here before doing anything
stupid.  How do I get around this python-updater problem?

Just make an 
# emerge -1 setuptools
and python-updater will run smoothly

If you are using gnome, also
# emerge -1 gnome-doc-utils

I hit the same bugs yesterday.

The second one is because python-updater seems to miss it and you would 
get a snadbox violation.

How nice to receive a *pro*active fix.  I read your mail while my
python-updater was running.  It then failed just as walter's and yours
did.
I applied your fix and ...
... voila, all is well.

Thanks,
allan
