In either case, relink /etc/make.profile
to /usr/portage/profiles/default-x86-2004.2. Then ignore the deprecation
notice and above slotmove error until you've upgraded portage to 2.0.51.

Hi Jason - thanks. I did what you suggested and it sort of fixed the
problem. However when I now run (after updating portage) emerge -s portage I
get the following output. I'm interested in the message
Failed to write to mtimedb: 'module' object has no attribute
'HIGHEST_PROTOCOL'
Plus why does it keep streaming this output?
Thanks, Richard
