Even python has ABI's that differ between major versions. On a source based distro like Gentoo that just means packages like pyrex need to be remerged when upgrading e.g. from python 2.4 to 2.5. This is why the python-updater script exists. On binary distros like Debian, however, reinstalling the same binary package won't fix anything because it doesn't get recompiled. Therefore they create multiple versions of the same package where the only thing that differs is the ABI... -- Bo Andresen pgpWD4OwA0hon.pgp Description: PGP signature

Well, that just mean that that documentation assumes a debian environment. What are you trying to do? Do you want to install synce and/or libopensync? Then, why don't you just emerge synce and libopensync and let portage take care of all the dependencies? (btw, I don't see any of the packages you mention listed as dependencies of synce and libopensync...) Or are you trying to do something else? The more info you provide, the more accurate answers you are likely to get. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Same thing for this : python2.4-xml Some packages happen to have different names, depending on the distribution. The names you mention seem to be debian package names. I don't know python, but I guess that if you have python 2.4 in your system (the latest stable version) you just need to install the gentoo packages called "pyrex" and "pyxml" (python-pyrex is not a gentoo package name). -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
