Same here, a mostly problem-free upgrade with portage-2.2.20. There was one file collision with perl-code/Encode, easily fixed rm I'm also busy with a new install while all this is going on, and that machine have some initial issues - something blocking perl-5.22.0 - which has now gone away and I don't know what I did to make that happen :-) IIRC I manually upgraded portage to latest ~ (but a lot wqas going on so can't be totally sure) -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
