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. Dan
