I noticed others reporting Python update problems & didn't follow it, but in my regular Sat update today encountered a big mess. 'setuptools-scm' offered 13 screens of conflicts, which were reduced to 10 by ' --backtrack=60 '. I tried a 'quickpkg' + 'emerge -k', but was refused as the ebuild was missing. Finally, I did a few 'emerge -C' brute-forces on some listed pkgs, which allowed a straightforward 'emerge' of 18 Python pkgs. The underlying problem seemed to be a jump to Python 3.13 .
That solution is risky, but it has always worked before + today. I don't understand why Python can't do it automatically, but am tired of complaining & remain a strong fan of Gentoo. PS I've never done 'emerge World' without '-pv' since 2003 : I always pick/choose which pkgs to update a few at a time. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatcadotinterdotnet
