6 Because portage is part of the base system packages. You manually
7 installed portage(i.e. not via an ebuild) so portage itself doesn't
8 know it is installed(hope that made sense). In other words, you have
9 an empty world file, and portage is trying to satisfy all the deps
10 specified in your base profile.

14 On a side note, I put a placeholder on a wiki page[1] so we can start
