Hi,

i don't want to report a bug or something like that before i discussed it here, but if you bootstrap the old release-stage1 from 20030910, python 2.3 will be installed, but python 2.2 won't be uninstalled, but python 2.2 isn't listed to be installed. (qpkg -I |grep python only shows python2.3, but not python2.2)

bootstrap.sh should somehow upgrade python to the current version, but i cannot imagine how that should work. python2.2 cannot be unmerged (since qpkg -I doesn't list it), and python2.3 has a lot of dependencies.

I wonder if there are more files like /usr/bin/python2.2/* that don't belong to any package listed by "qpkg -I". These files could be recorded in the database as a package called "stage1" which can be unmerged after the "emerge system".

What do you think?

Thx
Sven
