Even making /usr/share/portage/repos.conf a symlink to /etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf, and adding an extra x-portage section to the latter with a duplicated "location = " setting changed nothing. This looks like a bug. Any portage devs here? OTOH, just making /usr/portage itself a symlink to the new location seems to work fine; portage even resolves the symlink in all its messages. --sync works too. When you moved your tree, have you in fact removed /usr/portage, or have you left it in place but empty? Do you use any overlays?
