18 I did use regenworld, which added back a metric ton of packages, about a hundred
19 of which needed updating. I let the machine run overnight, building all those

22 Andreas, qlop shows that portage-2.2.16 was installed on Feb 9 and replaced by
23 2.2.15 on Feb 11 and then 2.2.17 on Feb 12. Judging by the large number of
24 packages that needed updating yesterday, I'd say the problem probably did start
25 back in February but I didn't notice it until now.
