i tried the manual portage install here http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/portage/d ... ortage.xml and it failed. i also removed it and then installed it with equo and it still says i have the old version

Merged portage-2.2_rc4 this morning without any problem and have just merged latest version of another package without a problem. Which version of portage have you currently got installed, and could you have done something recently that might have affected things?

[deadfool]

Portage 2.2_rc1 (default-linux/x86/2007.0, gcc-4.2.3, glibc-2.7-r1, 2.6.21-ragnarok3 i686)

i havent changed python or portage in a while. i came back from class after a sync and this happened.

actually equo says 2.1.5.3 and i think thats it since i unmerged portage and installed it with equo after the manual fix didnt work

its solved there was a bad manifest
