Some thoughts, not really informed, but trying to lure some better
experts and ideas out:
- Maybe you should run python-updater with several "-v" options? Maybe
it will become more talkative? (See man page and/or the script itself)
- Maybe the disks or filesystems have some problems or bit-rot after
having possibly been powered on 24/7 for a long time? Has there been
power outages? Voluntary fsck time!
- Has something happened to your scanelf? emerge -1 pax-utils might
fix some issues
- I'd guess eselect python complaining like above is probably just
normal, unless you're supposed to have eselect-python package
installed (many systems probably don't and you say your system is sort
of minimal anyway?)
- Does anything unusual appear in /var/log/messages or other logs?
