Ensure that your profile (/etc/make.profile) points to a vaild profile (i.e. that is still supported by portage). If that doesn\'t resolve the problem (that alone didn\'t work for me) try to update sys-apps/portage. In case emerge -u sys-apps/portage produces the error message mentioned above, you can try ebuild /usr/portage/sys-apps/portage/portage-<current-version>.ebuild merge This skips the emerge part and directly builds and installs the new version. (Note that you\'ll have two versions of sys-apps/portage installed by then. You can unmerge the older version by typing emerge -a unmerge sys-apps/portage-<old-version>). Now you can regenerate the portage tree: emerge --regen Hope that helps...
