Since I've installed Gentoo more than a year back  I have a small script
in "/etc/portage/postsync.d/" which just contains

   #! /bin/bash
   emerge --ask --changed-deps --changed-use --deep --newuse --oneshot \
          --update --with-bdeps=y sys-apps/portage

I'm not sure where I got that from, I thought it was in the Gentoo Hand-
book, but looking there just now I didn't find anything like that.  May-
be I invented that myself.

Am I interpreting you correctly  that such a postsync hook is never nec-
essary, that is,  that the "portage" package itself is always a built-in
build dependency for every other package?

Sincerely,
  Rainer
