Well, if you were running portage-2-2_rc67, that's already pretty much bleeding edge =P But just out of curiosity, though, is there any particular reason you're not running a more-stable version of Portage, such as v2.1.8.3 or v2.1.9.17? The 2.2 release-candidates are hard-masked for a reason - wh

Have you tried upgrading to the latest version of Portage 2.2? The newest version in the tree is currently portage-2.2_rc95, while you're still using portage-2.2_rc67. Perhaps there's a bug causing this that was fixed in subsequent release?
