Try 'emerge -fpuDN world'. WARNING: The list will likely be VERY long. |

It'll output multiple possible sources for each file - any one will do |

As for the portage tree update, simply download |
21 |
snapshots/portage-latest.tbz2' from your favorite mirror, untar it to |
22 |
/usr/portage, and run emerge --metadata (<-- important!) to update your |
23 |
tree. |
