12 I'm almost sure your current portage is 11344 or something, and the
13 current "upgrade" is in fact a downgrade ("UD"). I made some very
14 unfortunate mistake by releasing your the portage you currently use.

16 The easiest way to solve your problem now, is to bootstrap portage again
17 (and only portage), and reemerge portage afterwards.
