I have a notebook that I haven't updated for a while. After emerge

re-install. Is there a way to get out of this?
You've been hit by the switch from Python 3.8 to 3.9 by the looks of it.
Try adding "sys-apps/portage python_targets_python3_8" to package.use.
You'll probably have to add a few more packages to this list to get world
updated.
Thank you very much. Progress. I've managed to get portage-3.0.26-r6
built. My package.use currently has...
sys-apps/portage -rsync-verify python_targets_python3_8
dev-python/setuptool python_targets_python3_8
dev-python/setuptools python_targets_python3_8
dev-python/certifi python_targets_python3_8
dev-python/setuptools_scm python_targets_python3_8
dev-python/toml python_targets_python3_8
Can I remove the python flags now or should I do a world update first?
I'd do a system update first. Make sure the necessities are in a stable
state before you start mucking about with all the extras ... :-)
Cheers,
Wol
