Sorry for the snip, but all you said is valid only if:
you remember to update portage _before_ an emerge --sync
_and_ you are able to do it.

basically what I did was to remove the old snapshot find an old snapshot
but recent enough to have EAPI5 portage.
yes some wget of some distfiles was needed but it made the whole thing
possible.

Alternatively build a completely new system and then switch is a
possibility,
nothing deadly but as said a simple copy of a january snapshot would
have made some paths simpler

cheers,
Francesco Riosa
