Am I meant to actually run > python-updater without the -p, here? That's correct. As the man emerge say -p stands for --pretend. Just to gi= ve=20 a chance to see what it wants to do and think about it before you run it ag= ain=20 without it for execution.

At this stage you should only run: python-updater -v Nothing else. Once it completes you can run --depclean which will ask you to remove the=20 older 2.6 python package. > How come?

Adding the -N flag will remerge any packages that are affected by changes t= o=20 USE flags that you have made since they were first installed. So the list= =20 will be longer than without it. =2D-=20 Regards, Mick --nextPart1803039.SRHf53zPVe Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAk20RWAACgkQVTDTR3kpaLbOMwCcDIVJt1CojP56BX5TVW+WqtCh mB8AnjAr+tiJ/HvUP5S720OiPjVSvjjC =sLRL -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1803039.SRHf53zPVe--
