Hi all, I had an older machine "appliance" (mythtv-frontend) that hadn't had an update in a while (migrated to 29.1 yesterday/today.)
I searched around on the mailing list as portage advised updating itself but it got itself in a circular dependency with python and wanted to install an unstable version of portage as a result, which I didn't want. After wasting 30 minutes waiting for portage to calculate dependencies (using --backtrack=1000) I got po'ed and forced python to install using --nodeps. This worked, I was able to install portage and continue updating my system from there. The problem is there's no more python-updater to make sure that python is in a sane state. Any suggestions for making sure python is actually in a sane state? Dan
