Try the other suggestions first -- but as a last resort -- you can
always grab a new stage3 that should contain an updated version of
portage and simply overwrite the portage files on your machine. A
quickpkg from another Gentoo machine (or the liveCD?) would also work.
I´m trying to update a production server here. If I overwrite the whole
system, who knows what might break. I can take it down for a few
hours in the evening unless I want to work over night, which is not
really an option.
Not the whole system, only portage. It should still be your last resort,
but on the bad-idea scale it's only a 1 or a 2.
And how would I know which of all the files affect only portage and nothing
else, and what about the dependencies of portage?
