Solved in portage-2.2
The commit that broke that has been reverted, but passing the root parameter is without affect for ages (and you're passing the default anyway). You can just change this line to: self._portdbapi = portdbapi(self._settings) and it will work with any relevant portage version.
(In reply to comment #2) > The commit that broke that has been reverted, Yes, it's fixed since 2.2_rc99: http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/portage.git;a=commit;h=a2b4784108a9748b5826ee16e4daebd01def7460 I'll reassign this to dev-portage, since the backward incompatibility was never intended (at least not without a real deprecation warning first).
