I went 41 days without emerging (yeah, I know). Anyhow, emerge first

unmerge gentoolkit and re-emerge it afterwards?
Its not part of @system, so should be fine.
Thanks. I unmerged gentoolkit (0.4.6), updated portage, and
re-emerged gentoolkit (0.4.6). Wierd that it comes back with the same
version, but portage can't be updated when it's present.
Whenever i'm not sure I just quickpkg first so get it back with tar
if need be.
That prompted me to dig deeper. According to
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/System_set_%28Portage%29 you can gat a
listing of the system set with either of...
emerge --pretend @system
eix -c --system
You need to merge them together: `emerge -au1 gentoolkit portage`. Then
the error doesn't happen.
