[gentoo-user] python cleanup

[gentoo-user] python cleanup

[James]

Python and Java have taken me days to clean up on an 
old, mostly unattended system.


I'm almost done, but have an issue, I've not seen before.

emerge -p @preserved-rebuild

[ebuild   R   ] dev-db/libpq-8.1.11 
[ebuild   R   ] app-text/hunspell-1.2.8 
[ebuild     U ] dev-lang/python-2.5.4-r3 [2.5.4-r2]
[ebuild   R   ] kde-base/kalgebra-4.2.4            
[ebuild   R   ] app-crypt/gnupg-2.0.11             
[ebuild   R   ] dev-lang/lua-5.1.4                 
[ebuild   R   ] sci-libs/libqalculate-0.9.6-r1     
[ebuild   R   ] media-video/ffmpeg-0.5-r1  USE="doc*" 
[ebuild   R   ] dev-scheme/guile-1.8.5-r1             
[ebuild   R   ] sys-devel/gdb-6.8-r1                  
[ebuild   R   ] sys-devel/bc-1.06.95                  
[ebuild   R   ] dev-db/mysql-5.0.70-r1                
[ebuild   R   ] dev-db/postgresql-8.1.11              



Ok this is strange, as I have rebuild @system on this system
and python-updater has moved everything to python 2.6  (???)

dev-lang/python
     Available versions:
        (2.4)   2.4.6
        (2.5)   2.5.4-r3
        (2.6)   2.6.2-r1
        (3.1)   ~3.1.1
Installed versions:  2.5.4-r2(2.5)
                 2.6.2-r1(2.6)


So what's pulling in python 2.5?

equery depends dev-lang/pythondev-lang/python-2.5.4-r2
 Searching for packages depending on 
dev-lang/python-2.5.4-r2... 

Nothing (?)


So  is it OK to unmerge python 2.5? Or do I still need it?


I still get  old garbage wanting python 2.5 with
emerge -p @preserved-rebuild

How to proceed is most welcome news to me.

You wouldn't happen to have that slot of python in your world file would
you?

World?

emerge -Pa python should get rid of it if it's not in world. Otherwise
you'll need emerge -Ca python:2.5.

Hello Neil,


I'm still working this angle. It seems to clean up more, but, it's like
I'm having to make several more attempts that one would expect to clean
it up completely....


I'll post when I take this strategy cleans it up full, or as far
as I can go with it.

Put it to package.mask and run emerge, it should complain that 'All
ebuilds are masked', followed by the chain of 'pulled in by' clauses,
which should be enough to find out what's going on.

Hey, that's good to know.....


Anyway many applications of recompile
revdep-rebuild and @perserved 

eventually fixed the problem.


Thanks to all for the ideas and syntax....
