Moving forward like a snail.
Unmerged portage to local directory and running:
./portage-portage-3.0.12/bin/emerge -1 portage
gives me two blockers:
[blocks B ] <app-portage/gentoolkit-0.4.6 ("<app-portage/gentoolkit-0.4.6"
is blocking sys-apps/portage-3.0.9)
[blocks B ] <=dev-lang/python-2.7.18-r3:2.7
("<=dev-lang/python-2.7.18-r3:2.7" is blocking dev-lang/python-exec-2.4.6-r2)
I can remove app-portage/gentoolkit but is it safe to remove:
dev-lang/python-2.7.18-r3:2.7
