If you are unable to update more frequently than that you are going to
encounter issues and maybe a binary distro would be a better fit.

right now the next update is looking **BAD**:



tortoise ~ # emerge --update --verbose portage --backtrack=30
--verbose-conflicts --pretend

What are you emerging here, @system or @world?

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild???????? U?? ] sys-apps/portage-2.3.76::gentoo [2.3.65::gentoo]
USE="(ipc) native-extensions rsync-verify xattr -build -doc -epydoc
-gentoo-dev (-selinux)" PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 python3_6 python3_7
-pypy -python3_5" 1,010 KiB
[blocks B?????????? ] <app-portage/gentoolkit-0.4.6
("<app-portage/gentoolkit-0.4.6" is blocking sys-apps/portage-2.3.76)

Unmerge gentoolkit, then install the later version after portage if
updated.



I've run into this many times, whenever portage asks me to update itself after a sync I always run `emerge -a portage gentoolkit` to merge them both so this error doesn't happen.
