Gentoo provides you the tools to control your system with this

Having to add hundreds of lines to package.use is BEING FORCED TO FIX
PROBLEMS THE DEVS CAUSED
How difficult is this to undersand?
It is exactly two lines. No more, no less.
Here are the two lines in question, quoted from the news item:
Deferring the upgrade
=====================
To defer the upgrade, explicitly set the old targets:
*/* PYTHON_TARGETS: -* python3_11
*/* PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET: -* python3_11
You can't possibly be dealing with "having to add hundreds of lines to
package.use" unless one of two things is true:
- you did not read the news item
- you read the news item, but decided to NOT defer the upgrade, and
instead tried to mix both python 3.11 and python 3.12 together on your
system
LAST ATTEMPT AS YOU CLEARLY ARE INCAPABLE OF UNDERSTANDING NORMAL
ENGLISH. I WILL USE CAPS FOR YOU.
WHERE DID I STATE I WANT TO DEFER THE UPDATE?
I DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE VERSION!
THE ISSUE IS CAUSED BY A BROKEN SET OF PACKAGE VERSION IN PORTAGE!
