I actually had to add both lines...things that make you go hmmmm. Anyway, all is good.This is part of a new feature enabling normal users (i.e. not root) to use emerge. Didn't try it yet, but it seems that you have to add the 2 lines and add userpriv to your FEATURE variable in youe make.conf.
Interesting though.

I got the same thing this morning. I'm not sure what went wrong, but portage was gone from /etc/passwd (but was still in /etc/group). I manually added line 1 like the directions said and everything seems ok since then.
Not sure what the deal is and I'm surprised more people haven't complained, so I don't know if this is for particular configurations or if everyone is hesitant to upgrade portage after the mess a couple of weeks back...
Anyway, just fix /etc/passwd manually, that should fix it...

Got this interesting message after emerging the new portage.
portage: 'portage' user or group missing. Please update baselayout
and merge portage user(250) and group(250) into your passwd
and group files. Non-root compilation is disabled until then.
For the defaults, line 1 goes into passwd, and 2 into group.
portage:x:250:250:portage:/var/tmp/portage:/bin/false
portage::250:portage
Why would this feature be added? Did I do something wrong?
