What does py25 mean?
I can't seem to upgrade about 40 ports (the old versions of which now seem
to be broken) evidently because the build of
py25-gtk-2.13.1 fails with the message
py25-cairo-1.8.6 needs Python 2.6 at least. But you specified 2.5.
Well, of *I* did not specify 2.5.
But howcome something called py25-cairo needs Python 2.6? What does that
py25 on the front mean? Doesn't it mean python 2.5? If it doesn't mean
that, what does it mean? If it does mean that, then howcome it needs python
2.6?
Looking at graphics/py-cairo history:
June 17: was updated to 1.8.4
June 19: required python 2.6+
You most likely installed it before that, and probably before python
2.6 was set as the default version. The message is a bit misleading
but as somebody else said, the py25- prefix in that case comes from
your installed version of python.
Check entry 20090608 about the python upgrade in /usr/ports/UPDATING.
Yes I did that. Twice. I am now doing it a third time.
In the meantime I deinstalled py-cairo and make installed it and it thinks
its name is not py26-cairo
but x11-toolkits/py-gtk2 won't build because it thinks it need py25-cairo
which in turn needs python26. But the pkg db doesn't have any py25-cairo
because it has py26-cairo which was built with python26.
It is really hard to tell whether python is more screwy than qt. I'd say it
is pretty much a tie.
