Subject: [gentoo-user] Python blockage problem.
Date: Sat, 2 Aug 2008 16:14:46 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200808021614.47063.gentoo.org@machturtle.com> (raw)

python-updater says it is blocked by an old version of python.  Yet I have an 
up-to-date version of python installed.  This is keeping me from upgrading.  
Any help appreciated.

[root@bass /home/dcorbin]# emerge -uav python-updater

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