 |
|
Dear All,
I run a small web server that I keep upto date by running GLSA check. However, glsa number 200610-07 (Python Buffer overflow) keeps tuning up everytime I check. I have religiously followed the instruction in the GLSA any number of times. The merge runs successfully, yet it keeps on turning up.
Any suggestions?
regards
Richard

Thanks for the hin. This also fixed it.
emerge -avP python
>>> These are the packages that would be unmerged:
dev-lang/python
selected: 2.3.6
protected: 2.4.4
omitted: none
>>> 'Selected' packages are slated for removal.
>>> 'Protected' and 'omitted' packages will not be removed.
Would you like to unmerge these packages? [Yes/No] |
