[gentoo-user] portage slang - interpreter sought

[Helmut Jarausch]

Hi,

a package at its 101st alpha version must be a bit crazy
but it's probably me.

Trying to emerge dev-python/xhtml2pdf I get the following message
which I don't understand. They must be new in portage-2.2.0_alpha101 :

!!! The ebuild selected to satisfy "dev-python/xhtml2pdf" has unmet  
requirements.
- dev-python/xhtml2pdf-0.0.3::gentoo USE="(multilib)"  
PYTHON_TARGETS="-python2_5 -python2_6 -python2_7"

   The following REQUIRED_USE flag constraints are unsatisfied:
     any-of ( python_targets_python2_5 python_targets_python2_6  
python_targets_python2_7 )

The package has been installed on 01/30/2012 for the first time but I  
cannot reinstall it
anymore.

Normally all packages are installed for python:2.7 and python:3.2 here,  
but this package
seems to require python < 3.0 . Still, what can I do about it?

Or is it an 'alpha feature' of portage?

Many thanks for a hint,
Helmut.

The package wants you to specify which Python to target.

Try:

PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7" emerge dev-python/xhtml2pdf

You can also put

PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7"

into your /etc/make.conf file.
