Assessing risk is somewhat intuitive and relies heavily on experience. python-exec changes python wrapper scripts, emerge is coded in python. You have the makings of a circular dep right there and alarms bells should already be going off in your head. With risk, you almost always already DO have more information than at first appears. Learn to trust the little voice in your head, when it pipes up rather be careful and double check. > > Afaik there is no official way to update gentoo, is there?
