A few things: First, you need to update portage. To do so, you'll need to manually downgrade the portage ebuild from EAPI 7 to EAPI 6 (simply change the number in the ebuild). First, emerge it without rsync-verify. Once you have portage up to date, it'll support EAPI 7 and life'll be easier. You can then reemerge it with rsync-verify, as the EAPI 7 dependencies will be installable this time. Then, I'd recommend upgrading the toolchain (binutils, gcc, glibc), otherwise you might run into compilation issues. After that, you can update packages. For big updates like this, I like to do it by chunks as it's easier (and it makes reading the emerge plan less painful). Like all the perl packages, then all the python packages, and so on. For that, the "emerge by path" feature is convenient; for example to update python packages: emerge -au /usr/lib/python3.7 In case force-unmerging python modules makes the update easier (resolving blocks), you can do so. That's actually safe to do, portage will still be able to emerge packages. Python itself (the interpreter) is the only hard dependency of portage. Hope this helps, and good luck with your update!

Looking instruction on this page: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Upgrading_Gentoo root #mv /usr/portage /usr/portage.latest root #tar xjpf /path/to/portage-20090720.tar.bz2 -C /usr root #emerge --update --oneshot portage but that portage "portage-20090720.tar.bz2" seems old; what is the latest one? go to the http://www.gentoo.org/downloads/mirrors/ and find a mirror, the snapshots will have lastest portage. Like https://gentoo.osuosl.org/snapshots/portage-latest.tar.bz2 It always update. And update a old system may cause a log of problems, be careful. -- bobwxc OpenPGP_0x36E94EABB53E516B.asc Description: application/pgp-keys OpenPGP_signature Description: OpenPGP digital signature

It looks like you need to update python, try iirc, gentoolkit is an add-on that helps with portage. As such it would be safe to remove ... Read the handbook and see if it *recommends* installing gentoolkit. If it does (as I seem to remember), it isn't *necessary* and can be removed. Cheers, Wol

Probably not. It looks like you need to update python, try
emerge -1a portage python:2.7
Or simply
emerge -1ua @system

I could find some a year old here: https://mirrors.sohu.com/gentoo/snapshots/ You might need to look for even older ones, but worth a try. Regards, Arve
Re: [gentoo-user] Upgrade an old system
[snip] emerge --update --oneshot portage !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=app-crypt/openpgp-keys-gentoo-release-20180706" have been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - app-crypt/openpgp-keys-gentoo-release-20200704::gentoo (masked by: EAPI 7) The current version of portage supports EAPI '6'. You must upgrade to a newer version of portage before EAPI masked packages can be installed. (dependency required by "sys-apps/portage-2.3.99-r2::gentoo[rsync-verify,-build]" [ebuild]) (dependency required by "portage" [argument]) I don't even have "app-crypt/openpgp-keys-gentoo-release" installed why is it complaining?
