You need to deal with the basics before you start with open heart surgery. Here is what is going on at a high level: Your current version of portage doesn't support EAPI 7, which was introduced quite a while ago - so long ago that we no longer guarantee a trivial update process, though it probably isn't too hard to work through. Portage itself uses EAPI 5 in the current releases, which is mainly because we want to try to make it at least somewhat straightforward to update on older systems. However, the default profiles are all pushing updated versions of python, and python uses EAPI7 across the board. What you need to do is update portage without touching python first, and then worry about python. Portage wants to pull in python 3.7 because all packages are being configured by default to support python 3.7. The version of portage you're trying to install supports python 3.6, 3.7, and 3.8. As long as you already have any of those installed you probably should be able to update just portage, which resolves the EAPI issue, and then you can update python or anything else. What version(s) of python do you have installed? Ways to obtain this info are: qlist -IRv dev-lang/python equery list python eselect list python
dev-lang/python-2.7.14-r1 dev-lang/python-3.5.4-r1 dev-lang/python-3.6.3-r1
(The first two are more useful but require non-default packages to be installed, the last is a bit more limited but should work anywhere.) Based on that I can probably give you a command line that will just update portage without touching anything else. Then once portage is updated you can proceed. Don't be surprised if it wants to rebuild itself again with the more current settings - that is fine. We're just getting things bootstrapped enough so that you can keep making progress. Most likely what you're probably going to end up wanting to try is: USE="python_targets_python3_6 -python_targets_python3_7" emerge -p1v sys-apps/portage (Remove the -p if the output of that looks sane.) That will temporarily adjust the python dependency settings for just that one command. You shouldn't use that USE setting any further after that - this is just to get portage updated once to allow python to be updated in the future - you don't want to stick with 3.6 forever and in a little while you won't even have that option.
