Thank you very much. Progress. I've managed to get portage-3.0.26-r6 built. My package.use currently has... sys-apps/portage -rsync-verify python_targets_python3_8 dev-python/setuptool python_targets_python3_8 dev-python/setuptools python_targets_python3_8 dev-python/certifi python_targets_python3_8 dev-python/setuptools_scm python_targets_python3_8 dev-python/toml python_targets_python3_8 Can I remove the python flags now or should I do a world update first? -- Walter Dnes <[email protected]> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
