Hi,

I´m trying to upgrade portage because I´m getting a message that it
needs to be able to work with EAPI 6 packages and can only do EAPI 5.

I´m running into merge conflicts when trying to update portage, and
apparently one of the packages (dev-python/cryptography) I could try
to update first to be able to update portage requires a version of
portage that can handle EAPI 6 packages.

How can upgrade portage?

I´m so tired of these stupid conflicts that come up every time I dare
trying to update ...  It makes it impossible to keep a Gentoo installation
up to date and seriously needs fixing.

Last time it was perl (on another machine), still unsolved, now it´s portage,
and I can´t even install freeradius because portage insists that it doesn´t
have use flags.
