  One more question... when you ran "emerge --sync", did you see a
message telling you to update portage immediately?  When you see that
message, do it right away before updating anything else.

`emerge --sync` tells me to update portage, but `emerge -av portage`
still blocks :(

Okay, reading up [1] [2], it seems I have to first upgrade logrotate to >= 3.8.0

[1] http://packages.gentoo.org/package/sys-apps/portage
[2] https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=374287

When I return from my late-lunch, I'll try that.

Unless I'm not supposed to do that.

Rgds,

YEAH!

After adding the required incantations to
/etc/portage/package.accepted_keywords, I successfully did `emerge
-auv logrotate`

Now `emerge -avuND @world` no longer blocks :-)
