[gentoo-user] Portage update errors
I have a machine with Gentoo, which was installed from scratch 5 months
ago, was updated 3 months ago. Time to look at it again.
emerge --sync
told me that I was strongly advised to update portage.
emerge portage
comes back with lots of errors, see below (the output is slightly
edited for brevity).
There is nothing to mask those packages, for example the word 'certifi'
does not occur in *any* file under /etc/portage at all.
The system is a stock-standard Gentoo with nothing fancy except one
thing: although it is installed as a 64-bit system, it is told to also
install every library in 32-bit mode, because it must be able to run
closed-source 32-bit programs.
As per the "5 config files ..." bit, well, dispatch-conf and etc-update
tell me that they have nothing to do, so I have no idea what 5 files
need updating, to what and how to update them.
I don't really understand how portage works (but I'd be glad if someone
could point me to a single-entity document of its architecture and
internals) so I couldn't even guess what its problem is. And the system
is not *that* old, really.
Any help would be much appreciated,
Thanks,
Zoltan

The Gentoo Handbook and man portage are good starting points.

This would appear to be your problem, you are trying to emerge version
of portage. Version usually refers to a git version, so not
usually desirable, especially for a critical system tool. So the first
step is to find out why portage wants version .
grep -r portage /etc/portage
will tell you if you have set it for installation. Otherwise repeat the
emerge command with the -t option, which shows what is pulling in a
particular package.

This implies you have somehow unmasked portage-

I get Gentoo booting to a console and I'm now in the process of getting stuff installed, LibreOffice, Firefox, Thunderird etc, stuff that takes ages to build. So now that I'm confident that things will work, I can continue to work, from the old disk, chroot into the new and continue to install there. Thanks, Andrew

According to this the file collisions were ignore and the updated package installed, so either something else prevented the installation from completing or eix is confused.

If you do happen to have a more powerful machine running Gentoo on a compatible architecture[1], you could also try Gentoo binary packages (that is, not -bin, but binary packages made from www-client/firefox and mail-client/thunderbird on that machine, either automatically with FEATURES=buildpkg, or manually using quickpkg or emerge --buildpkg).
