After my last update, portage stopped working. Google led me to |
| 2 |
believe it was this bug: |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=317775 |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
Which was said to be fixed in portage 2.1.9. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
So I upgraded from 2.1.8.X to 2.1.9.1, and now portage is even more |
| 9 |
broken. Now I can't even use it to downgrade to the older version of |
| 10 |
portage (which would at least work if you ran it using --quiet). |
| 11 |

| 12 |
This is a fine kettle of fish.... |
