Okay, I'm blocked here, at the very beginning:

I'm trying to update from 2.3.49 to 2.3.89 and it tells me it has a slot
conflict there. I can hardly delete portage and then add it ...

I got (amongst tons of other stuff):

How can I get things reestablished? Or, does gentoo simply require a
smarter user than me, and I should go back to ubuntu?
I think the bottom line is that Gentoo needs to be updated more often
than yearly. Others may also comment, but right now, I think a
reinstall might be easier than working through all the problems,
unless you are trying to learn more about how things work.
My first question is why you have portage-9999 unmasked? I suggest
going for the lowest version currently in the tree. I'm not sure if
your first step should really be portage itself, or upgrading
packages where the installed version is now masked due to security
errors or being too out of date.

...and? Did you update portage as it was _highly_ recommended that
you do so first? What version of portage are you using? This
appears
on the top line of emerge --info.
$ emerge --info
Portage 2.3.49 (python 3.6.5-final-0, default/linux/x86/17.0,
gcc-7.3.0,
glibc-2.26-r7, 4.14.65-gentoo x86_64)
That version of portage has been removed from the repo for over a
year.
I would update your system so that is current and then try again. I
believe that version of portage should still support EAPI 7 but there
could be some other issue that is giving it problems with more recent
packages in the tree.
