Display-If-Installed: dev-python/python-exec
|
|
|
|
Due to the recent issues which caused dev-python/python-exec:0 to be
|
|
removed prematurely [1], we had to perform an urgent package move.
|
|
Since we could not use the automatic updates support in portage, users
|
|
will notice two python-exec packages and possibly blockers.
|
|
|
|
Currently, dev-lang/python-exec is the real package that contains
|
|
python-exec and that will be used in the future. dev-python/python-exec
|
|
is a virtual package that is kept for compatibility with dependencies
|
|
in already-installed packages.
|
|
|
|
In the most favorable scenario, the package will be upgraded correctly
|
|
on your next world update if you use the '--deep' (-D) and '--update'
|
|
(-u) options. If you don't want to perform a complete world update
|
|
or if it fails for you, you may as well manually upgrade
|
|
dev-python/python-exec:
|
|
|
|
emerge -1 dev-python/python-exec
|
|
|
|
This will cause portage to update both python-exec packages and resolve
|
|
the blockers properly.
|
|
|
|
Please note that if you have applied any kind of package-specific
|
|
modifications to dev-python/python-exec (such as applying keywords
|
|
through 'package.accept_keywords'), you will need to copy them to
|
|
dev-lang/python-exec as well.
|
|
|
|
If you have applied keywords to dev-python/python-exec in order
|
|
to unmask Python 3.3 on a stable system, please consider removing
|
|
the keywords and reading our wiki page that explains how to properly
|
|
unmask USE flags [2].
|
|
|
|
We apologize for all the inconveniences. If you have any more issues
|
|
with python-exec, please do not hesitate to contact as at #gentoo-python
|
|
IRC channel (@freenode) or the gentoo-python@lists.gentoo.org mailing
|
|
list.
