I moved the virtualbox-6* ebuilds out of that directory and was able to
regenerate the Manifest!

The ebuild file merge worked quite well ... unfortunately, I ended up here:

/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/6.4.0/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld:
cannot find /lib64/libcap.so.2

Apparently pcap also got it's libraries trashed ...

I found the ebuild /file/ manifest command ... but got this:

//usr/portage/app-emulation/virtualbox # ebuild
/usr/portage/app-emulation/virtualbox/virtualbox-5.1.32.ebuild manifest //
//!!! getFetchMap(): 'app-emulation/virtualbox-6.0.12' has unsupported
EAPI: '7'//
///usr/portage/app-emulation/virtualbox # /

I think I'm on EAPI 6.

I found a copy of the ebuild on a different machine I have - it's a x86
not an amd64 architect, but maybe it's architecture-agnostic.  I wonder
if I copy that to my amd64 machine (which has the tarball of the
package), will I need anything else?

If the version you want isn’t in the tree anymore, you can use `ebuild
/path/to/it merge`

Thank you for the suggestion.

I had version 5.1.32 installed - several components of that. When I
run
the command you suggest, it prompts:

    /The following keyword changes are necessary to proceed://
    //...//
    //=app-emulation/virtualbox-5.2.34 ~amd64//
    //
    //Would you like to add these changes to your config files?
[Yes/No] //
    /

I'm afraid it's going to want to start all over again.
