13 Looking at this directory:
14 https://github.com/gentoo/portage/releases/tag/portage-3.0.12
15
16 file: portage-portage-3.0.12.tar.gz has totally different structure
17 If I run: tar xzf portage-portage-3.0.12.tar.gz -C /usr
18 it will create directory /usr/portage-portage-3.0.12
19
20 emerge --update --oneshot portage
21 can not fine it as it is looking for /usr/portage
