[gentoo-user] python emerge appears to have broken my pyth..

Hey all. I updated my home server today, and while looking through
the resultant emails from portage, I find this message from the python
emerge
| Subject: package dev-lang/python-2.4.3-r4 merged on zeus.spore.ath.cx
| with notice

| WARN: postrm
| /usr/share/man/man1/python.1.gz is a dead symlink.
Looking to the changelog, I find

| +python-2.5.1-r1.ebuild: Change threads USE flag to nothreads, fix

Is this a bug with the ebuild, my friends? Or is it my system which is
the source of the problem? Looks like i'm finally the first to run
into something ; )
With Sincerity,

Emerge --sync and update python. I've fixed this earlier today.
