Re: [gentoo-user] override PYTHON_TARGETS to avoid a slot collision

[Miles Malone <m.malone@homicidalteddybear.net>]

What's happening when you do emerge -avuDN --with-bdeps=y
--backtrack=100 @world ?  Giving portage the flexibility to solve it
with some extra backtracking and increasing the scope to world might
fix it, if not then we can revisit it?
