Hi, Thank you for your prompt response. As suggested by you I have done "emerge -auvDN sys-apps/portage" but I am getting the following error: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- localhost ~ # emerge -auvDN world
These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating world dependencies / !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=gnome-base/gnome-control-center-2.18" have been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - gnome-base/gnome-control-center-2.20.3 (masked by: required EAPI 1, supported EAPI 0) - gnome-base/gnome-control-center-2.22.1 (masked by: required EAPI 1, supported EAPI 0) - gnome-base/gnome-control-center-2.22.2.1 (masked by: required EAPI 1, supported EAPI 0) For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook. (dependency required by "media-video/totem-2.20.3" [ebuild]) !!! Problem resolving dependencies for gnome-base/gnome !!! Depgraph creation failed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Is all of this because of my outdated portage?

At least your portage version (2.1.2.2) is simply too old to emerge some packages, so you have to update at least that one: emerge -auvDN sys-apps/portage This might pull in other updates, enough to warrant doing a full world update.
