You need to run python-updater so that there are python modules for all
packages that are compatible with both releases of Python.  This is
because any such package will attempt to build modules for both Python
interpreters, even though you are currently using only 2.6.

Just run python-updater first, as this will take care of any
build-time dependencies of setuptools. Then try to emerge your general
updates, which should build setuptools correctly.
