Since the files in /usr/lib/portage appear to be unreadable or corrupt, you may want to try reinstalling those files manually as described here: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/portage/doc/manually-fixing-portage.xml
Thank You for responding. It indeed looks like a problem with my filesystem. I still haven't managed with it yet, but e2fsck is full of errors, and i cannot even remove my "old portage files".
can be closed? this version of portage does not exist in the tree anymore
yeah, it appears it was filesystem errors. At the very least, it is obsolete.
