It seems your three systems share a broken portage tree, try with the |
| 13 |
latest portage snapshot, for example from |
| 14 |
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo/snapshots/ |
| 15 |
|

You can also skip the sync and put it directly on the clients to see if |
| 17 |
the rsync service on server is broken... |

Once you stabilize the root cause, it's time to focus on the other |
| 20 |
issues (for example run a non-X runlevel on the laptop to fix the login |
| 21 |
issue, use nano until vim is ok, and so on). |
