Hi all,
I've got a media server that I'm in the process of installing Samba on.
When I do:
emerge -NuD --pretend samba
I get a list of stuff that portage wants to install, including Python,
V2.7.3, even though the machine already has V3.2.3 installed. I've also
stripped down the USE variables to basically "server" and that's all and
still for some reason portage wants to bring in Python - the older
version, V2. I've even added a "-python" to packages.use and it still
wants python, V2. I've had a look at the USE variables for the packages
that follow Python in the emerge list and they either don't want python
or already have "-python" set.
Having a play around with equery also didn't reveal anything. Does
anyone have any ideas as to what's causing old Python to be brought in?
I haven't posted the whole "emerge --info" stuff yet as hopefully
someone has come across this problem before.
Any thoughts greatly appreciated,
Andrew
