You're probably not using git to fetch your portage tree. cat /etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf [DEFAULT] main-repo = gentoo [gentoo] location = /usr/portage sync-type = git sync-uri = https://github.com/gentoo-mirror/gentoo.git auto-sync = yes Fix that and you'll be fine. Be aware that you're not going to have any changelogs once you do this. I'm not certain but you might have to delete /usr/portage first - I have no idea how it handles existing files. -- Rich
