[gentoo-user] Portage+gentoolkit blockage

I went 41 days without emerging (yeah, I know). Anyhow, emerge first wants me to update portage, but I run into problems. Can I safely unmerge gentoolkit and re-emerge it afterwards? = [i660][root][~] emerge --oneshot portage Calculating

Howdy, I'm trying to do my weekly update.  I use eudev but something seems to want plain udev and to remove eudev while at it.  I have udev masked so emerge knows not to install it.  This is what emerge spits out with the -t option in use.  Keep in mind, some options are in make.conf but the
