I think the bottom line is that Gentoo needs to be updated more often |
| 9 |
than yearly. Others may also comment, but right now, I think a |
| 10 |
reinstall might be easier than working through all the problems, unless |
| 11 |
you are trying to learn more about how things work. |

My first question is why you have portage-9999 unmasked? I suggest |
| 14 |
going for the lowest version currently in the tree. I'm not sure if |
| 15 |
your first step should really be portage itself, or upgrading packages |
| 16 |
where the installed version is now masked due to security errors or |
| 17 |
being too out of date. |
