45 I tried the same script on a different Gentoo machine, just in case .. but
46 I get the same failure.

48 The portage version that gets emerged just before things start to go wrong
49 is 2.2.00.7595. This is the highest version available in the /usr/portage
50 tree that the bootstrap sees. Is there any way that I could request a
51 higher version of /usr/portage, for example in the `./bootstrap-prefix.sh
52 $EPREFIX tree' step?
