In fact, what I always do is sync one of my machines with an official Gentoo mirror via "emerge --sync", and then I just use rsync to distribute the updated tree to all my other local machines as in: rsync --delete -trmv /usr/portage/ <user>@<dest_host>:/usr/portage One might want to ask rsync to exclude the distfiles directory, but I always include it as it oftentimes saves me the download of a file I've already downloaded during an emerge on another machine. In any case, locally updating my tree via rsync has always worked fine for me. Leaving the "--delete" option to rsync out, however, immediately leads to problems, with various ebuild-related error messages on subsequent "emerge"s. I can imagine that the OP did, in fact, update his tree in such an inconsistent manner, but that can certainly be fixed, with the surest way being a "emerge --sync" using an official mirror.
