It looks like that the bug is fixed by this patch: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/portage.git/patch/?id=f6c347f5ac192715a666e14f617b61524f9445ac

Fabian will need to pack a new prefix-portage tarball. Before it happens I have committed a work around to bootstrap-prefix.sh. https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/proj/prefix.git/commit/?id=285454817f40abef3e124c31bb751755a0a4139e
yes, sorry, the workaround should be fine, but we need a full new portage + snapshot bump stuff.
(one of the things we also need to to shut up gemato/make portage not return failure when gemato isn't found because it currently makes the emerge --sync phase problematic and failing)
I got the same bug in both pure clear centos 7 and ubuntu 18.04. I used to edit script change 2.3.40.1 to 2.3.18 to continue.
