I did use regenworld, which added back a metric ton of packages, about a hundred of which needed updating. I let the machine run overnight, building all those packages, and everything succeeded :) Andreas, qlop shows that portage-2.2.16 was installed on Feb 9 and replaced by 2.2.15 on Feb 11 and then 2.2.17 on Feb 12. Judging by the large number of packages that needed updating yesterday, I'd say the problem probably did start back in February but I didn't notice it until now. Thanks guys.
