Howdy, I decided to go the safer route with the python upgrade. I do my compiles in a chroot and then copy packages over and emerge with -k on the main OS. I did the first step in chroot, copied over and installed on main OS. I then did the same again with the second step. That all went well enough. The last step tho, it spits out a lot of things that are not pleased with the update. I'm thinking if I leave my package.use at step two until next week, those packages may catch up. It seems some packages I have installed don't support the new default python yet. This is the error part.

Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No] As you can tell, it wants to continue with some packages which is fine. I'm just concerned about the ones where it says it is skipping. Should I go back to this setting in package.use which is step two and stay there for now, which means both old 3.12 and 3.13 are supported? */* PYTHON_TARGETS: -* python3_12 python3_13 */* PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET: -* python3_13 This is the one that causes the error. */* PYTHON_TARGETS: -* python3_13 */* PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET: -* python3_13 I'm thinking it is safe to leave at step two since it will use whichever is the latest python the package supports but want to be sure. Thanks. Dale :-) :-)
