I just did an update, and ran "etc-update". I got...
=========================================================================
[i3][root][~] etc-update
python-exec: Invalid impl in /etc/python-exec/python-exec.conf: python3.6
Scanning Configuration files...
Automerging trivial changes in: /etc/cups/cups-browsed.conf
Automerging trivial changes in: /etc/ssh/ssh_config
The following is the list of files which need updating, each
configuration file is followed by a list of possible replacement files.
1) /etc/mke2fs.conf (1)
2) /etc/sudo.conf (1)
3) /etc/ImageMagick-7/policy.xml (1)
4) /etc/mc/filehighlight.ini (1)
5) /etc/mc/mc.default.keymap (1)
6) /etc/mc/mc.emacs.keymap (1)
7) /etc/mc/mc.ext (1)
8) /etc/ssh/moduli (1)

Please select a file to edit by entering the corresponding number.
(don't use -3, -5, -7 or -9 if you're unsure what to do)
(-1 to exit) (-3 to auto merge all files)
(-5 to auto-merge AND not use 'mv -i')
(-7 to discard all updates)
(-9 to discard all updates AND not use 'rm -i'):
=========================================================================
I selected "-5" and it worked. /etc/python-exec/python-exec.conf
consists of a bunch of comments, and 2 uncommented lines...
python3.8
python3.6
The comments mention that...
# Note: this file can be modified by calls to 'eselect python'.
So I did...
======================================================
[i3][root][~] eselect python list
Available Python interpreters, in order of preference:
[1] python3.8
[2] python3.6 (uninstalled)
[3] python3.9 (fallback)
[i3][root][~] eselect python set 1
[i3][root][~] eselect python list
Available Python interpreters, in order of preference:
[1] python3.8
[2] python3.6 (uninstalled)
[3] python3.9 (fallback)
======================================================
grep -v ^# /etc/python-exec/python-exec.conf
...still shows 2 lines...
python3.8
python3.6
...No change at all. Now what? Should I manually edit
/etc/python-exec/python-exec.conf and remove "python3.6"?
