I doubt you need full emerge --info for this, but I'm running ~amd64, and the
portage-2.2-rcs, having just upgraded to -rc5 earlier in this emerge session.
In fact, I just filed a(n apparently coincidentally) related traceback bug on
it, see bug #233458 . Yell if you need full --info and I'll attach it.
