Yes, I ran python-updater after the last python upgrade which was a week
or so ago.  I just hadn't ran --depclean yet.  Needless to say, OOo just
had to be recompiled too.  It always does.  Usually, about a week later,
they have a upgrade for OOo which means I get to warm up my CPU again. 
Never fails.  :/

So far, I have unmerged scribus, ran revdep-rebuild which didn't
complain about anything this time and I am currently reinstalling
scribus.  No errors so far.

I didn't get to test the python USE flag tho.  According to emerge -pv
scribus, it doesn't have that flag.
