Right, seen that bug before :)

However, there may be a another bug in here. Portage is complaining over not 
being able
to load the hosts profile as the hosts is using "profile-formats = portage-2" 
and my
CONFIGROOT is not. I don't think my CONFIGROOT should be forced to use 
"profile-formats = portage-2"
just because the host is?
