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?
