You also have to be careful with this blocker, never unmerge python or you are lost as portage does not work without python. You have to do something like this to get around it. >> quickpkg =dev-lang/python-2.3.5 this makes a backup of your old python version in case something gets wrong (adapt the version to match your currently installed one) >> emerge --nodeps -avt =dev-lang/python-2.4.4-r6 installs the new python version without dependencies so the python-updater can not block the old python version >> emerge -avC =dev-lang/python-2.3.5 removes the old version of python >> emerge -avt python-updater installs python-updater >> emerge -avt portage reinstalls portage so it uses the new python version It is also good thing to run python-updater after this. Please could someone confirm this, as i have never done this myself, just googling! :) > !!! Problems have been detected with your world file > !!! Please run emaint --check world You should also consider this! There are some invalid entries in your world file. Normally this are packages which are in world but are not installed on the system.
