Unless you're years behind on your portage updates, there should be no chance of getting any problems with this that could be fixed by upgrading portage. As long as you do world updates now and then, I don't think you'd ever have any problems. I stopped updating portage on its own many years ago, it's been fine. Regards, Arve
