Just as I was celebrating the last python upgrade has been a breeze, a disk 
failed on one PC in the most inopportune moment.  The / directory was on the 
SSD disk which failed.  The /var/db, /var/cache and /var/log are on a 
different (spinning) disk.

I restored / from a backup which was 5 weeks old, excluding /var/db, /var/
cache and /var/log - I didn't have a backup of these.  Consequently, there's 
an incongruity in what portage thinks is installed - a day old update status - 
and what is actually installed - 5 weeks old packages.

I tried to run an update @world, but it failed as some package versions were 
missing/incompatible.  I tried to force python3_13 following the python 
upgrade guide, but may have ended up making things worse.  What is the best 
way to bring this system up to date?
