So what exactly is your portage version now? emerge --info would be nice. You're going to have to completely reinstall because your version of portage is too old and it's unsupported. While officially unsupported, if you'd like to try upgrading your install, there are a number of discussions on the forums[0] and mailing lists that may help you. As these are unsupported I highly recommend you be prepared to reinstall just in case something does go wrong. [0] http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-748073-highlight-.html for example Hmm, ok. Unfortunately this is a production box, and re-installing from scratch really isn't an option. Great. I think the best steps for doing thins are outlined in this post: http://blog.jolexa.net/2009/03/25/gentoo-tips-to-upgrade-your-really-old-installation/ |
