I have a notebook that I haven't updated for a while. After emerge sync, it said to "emerge -1 portage". Trying to do so got me the following as listed in the gzipped attachment. I'd really rather not re-install. Is there a way to get out of this?
From my very elementary and simplistic look at the log, have you been messing at all with python version related settings? (python_target related flags) It looks like the new portage needs the new version of some python packages, but the older version of some of those packages is still required by yet other packages. Until/unless someone can suggest a more comprehensive approach (which may be likely,) I would try upgrading those pythong packages included in your upgrad - one at a time, trying to figure out which other packages you need to upgrade first. Of course if you've manually modified any python_target settings, I'd consider that to be a likely cause of the problems.
