FWIW, here (and see below for the Gentoo versions): GNU bash, version 4.0.28(2)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) That's current ~amd64 as of yesterday's sync. I haven't run python-updater in some time but it ran fine when I ran it last. I do need to run it again since python-3.1 was just in yesterday's updates, tho, and see what happens. Meanwhile, I've had exactly zero problems with eselect, but I don't use that many modules of it as I manage a lot of what it does, like the kernel symlink, the make.profile symlink, etc, manually. Here's my bash, python and python-updater versions: $equery l bash python * Searching for bash ... [IP-] [ ~] app-shells/bash-4.0_p28 (0) * Searching for python ... [IP-] [ ~] dev-lang/python-2.6.2-r1 (2.6) [IP-] [ ~] dev-lang/python-3.1 (3.1) * Searching for python-updater ... [IP-] [ ~] app-admin/python-updater-0.7 (0) $ Are you full ~amd64, or did you package.keyword bash? If you're running a mixed ~arch/stable system, it's possible that's the problem, tho it doesn't look like it should be python-updater itself, since 0.7 is the highest available for both stable and ~arch. Here's a depth-2 depends graph for the 4.0 p28 bash version: $equery g --depth=2 bash-4.0_p28 * Searching for bash ... * dependency graph for app-shells/bash-4.0_p28: `-- app-shells/bash-4.0_p28 `-- sys-libs/ncurses-5.7-r1 `-- sys-libs/gpm-1.20.6 [gpm] `-- sec-policy/selinux-gpm (unable to resolve: package masked or removed) `-- virtual/libintl-0 (virtual/libintl) [nls] `-- sys-devel/gettext-0.17 [elibc_FreeBSD] [ app-shells/bash-4.0_p28 stats: packages (5), max depth (2) ] $ python-updater itself doesn't seem to have any significant dependencies, just a package manager (portage, pkgcore or paludis), at the first level. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
