I had nothing linked to libmpfr.so.1 so that wasn't the root cause/ In my case it seems to be driven by bugs like this: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=360425 Seems the only thing to do it just wait for devs to fix it. (And wonder why something like python-2.7 gets released as stable with stuff like this hanging about....) Cheers, Mark
