I checked /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask after a new "emerge sync" and 
the relevant line says:

# <carpaski@gentoo.org> (15 Dec 2002)
# Masking for prelink testing.
>sys-apps/portage-2.0.45-r6

I would expect it to be ">=sys-apps/portage-2.0.45-r6" (note the equal 
sign), if it was masked indeed.

I also did:

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -up world

and it did not turn up portage-2.0.45-r6 either. Any clues how it 
disappeared?

Furthermore, does anyone have any suggestions on how to recover from a 
merging of that offensive portage-2.0.45-r6? My approach is to compile (on 
another machine) glibc and gcc (with ebuild xxx.ebuild package) and move it 
over to the broken machine.
