Running: # eselect python list # eselect python set (put number for python:3.3) # emerge -C dev-lang/python:3.1 # python updater solved all the problems. I was at python:3.3 but for some reason or another (mostly my fault) I did not unmerged python:3.1 When it comes to upgrading be-weekly maybe but from my experience, when I was doing it more often, occasionally, I ended up with a broken system that was caused by new packages. I have 4-boxes at home and two boxes at a remote location. So the boxes at home get upgraded first, I wait a week, just to make sure every program works and then I upgrade one box on a remote location, wait one week again and upgrade the second box (the backup) in the remote location. So doing it even every second week would be too often for this routine. The boxes are "rsync" to one local box. -- Joseph
