Subject: [gentoo-user] Prevent depclean from removing Python-2.6?
Date: Tue, 10 May 2011 14:40:48 +0000 (UTC)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <iqbipg$rra$1@dough.gmane.org> (raw)

I ran emerge --depclean the other day on one of my machines and it
removed Python 2.6.  I was using Python 2.6 as my "default" python,
and depclean's removal of it broke a _lot_ of stuff.  About a half
day's worth of hassle later I had Python 2.6 re-installed and my
system was again usable.

In order to avoid the same circus on my other machines, how do I
prevent emerge --depclean from removing Python 2.6?
