5 Ouch, we should really make a newer portage-rescue for alpha, based on
6 2.0.50.

19 As Kloeri said, bad rsync version

30 This is because the version of portage in the rescue tarball is too
31 old.

36 The crash probably occurred because the tree was only partly rsync'd,
37 but I'm not sure.

41 I don't know the easiest way out. I would probably build a better
42 rsync on either another machine or this one if you can make it work
43 (perhaps using emerge with --nodeps). Then try to get the tree to
44 sync.
45
46 Alternatively you could unpack stage1 into a chroot and build a newer
47 portage there, use --buildpkg to make a package out of it, then untar
48 that into your root partition. Self-baked portage rescue...
