I did this mistake a long long time ago... Been there dones that Good news: emerge -C dev-python/python-exec && emerge dev-python/python-exec (fixed the issue) glibc updated (not vulnerable) python update revdep-rebuild, and restarted all the service everything seems ok. Not going to play around with no udev or grub2. My weekend starts now and refuse to get it off on the wrong foot! N.
