Hi all,

@Brenda: Thanks for the tip, it works, almost perfectly.

I ran ``emerge -u portage'' and the following came up:

>>> Recording sys-apps/portage in "world" favorites file...

* Messages for package dev-lang/python-3.3.0:

* You have just upgraded from an older version of Python.

* You should switch active version of Python 3 and run

* 'python-updater [options]' to rebuild Python modules.

Then when I try to resume the installation script, it still fails at ``emerge -e system‘’ with the following build log. I guess the failure has something to python, but does anyone has any specific instructions how to do the python update? (The installation really takes long.)

Best regards.

Gentoo portage (and gentoo-x86 tree) has been upgrade to EAPI 5 by the
end of 2012, after the portage-prefix snapshot used by bootstrap scipt.

To fix this, do a "emerge -u portage" before resuming your bootstrap
scipt. It will upgrade portage to the newest version capable of EAPI 5.

I think pushing out a EAPI5 portage snapshot for bootstrap is on
Fabian's list, though he's busy :)

Cheers,
Benda
