Hi, I installed gentoo on a new vps, and updated it to latest stuff. Funny thing is, irrespective of the number of times I run python-updater, the same packages are added at every run. Earlier the installation had python 2.6. Updated to 2.7 and --depclean'd 2.6. Now it has 2.6 & 3.2 with 3.2 as main active version.

It compiles all of them, but on the next run again I get this. -- Nilesh Govindarajan http://nileshgr.com
