I've emerged python-2.5 in the new slot, but I can't upgrade from python-updater-0.2 to python-updater-0.5 until I un-emerge python-2.3. Should I run python-updater-0.2 now, or un-emerge python-2.3, update to python-updater-0.5, and run that? If it depends on if I have python-2.4 installed or not, how can I check on that? - Grant
