Comment (by jonesc@…):

 Replying to [comment:5 mojca@…]:
 > But that's "slightly suboptimal". If you have `root5 +python27`
 installed, your machine could spend 4 hours compiling `root6 +python27`
 (hopefully less), only to tell you that the variant conflicts with `root5`
 just before activation. Personally I'm not a big fan of this solution
 (even though I admit that it at least solves one weird problem). I would
 ask others for help.

 Agreed, its not ideal, but I think better than before...

 As I said, I tried various other phases to perform the check in, but none
 seemed to work and avoided the long unnecessary build. If someone else can
 suggest something better, all the better...
