Are you sure?
Not so much anymore... One of the admins at work is having similar troubles with a machine not updated for a while. I didn't go through this on my notebook which is updated weekly, so perhaps I hit an ideal window of opportunity between commits. Let's look at this in more detail: You have portage-2.1.2.2 and want to upgrade to 2.1.4.4 You have bash-3.1_p17 and want to upgrade to 3.2_33 bash-3.1_p17 has no DEPEND blockers bash-3.2-p17-r1 has no DEPEND blockers bash-3.2_p33 blocks <portage-2.1.4-rc1 portage-2.1.2.12 requires >=app-shells/bash-3.1_p17 portage-2.1.3.19 requires >=app-shells/bash-3.2_p17 portage-2.1.4.4 requires >=app-shells/bash-3.2_p17 Ignore the conditional blocker from portage as you should not have build in USE. Now aside from what on earth certain versions of portage have to do with certain versions of bash... try this: emerge bash-3.2-p17-r1 emerge portage emerge bash > I just installed 2007.0 and set ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86. I then > did a emerge --sync followed by an "emerge -vat portage".
