Hm, well I'm just now updating my ~amd64 machine and I see that both python
and portage are about to be updated. I'm still with the 2.1.x portage, so
I can't comment on the version you're running. Were your python and portage
just recently updated?
Did you run python-updater after the upgrade? Perhaps the python ebuild does
that for you, I'm not sure. Anyway I'd run it again just to make sure.
This could be a new bug in portage, too. I'd suggest downgrading to your
previous portage version -- but I'm not sure how safe that is. Anyone else
know?
