Trying to update an old box, any idea how to get past the following?

Code:
$ sudo emerge -uDNp world                                   

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!

!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=x11-misc/util-macros-1.3.0" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- x11-misc/util-macros-1.11.0 (masked by: EAPI 3)

The current version of portage supports EAPI '2'. You must upgrade to a
newer version of portage before EAPI masked packages can be installed.

For more information, see the MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge
man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

It will be tricky.
First, unmerge eselect-news and try to update eselect.
If that succeeds, you'll need to find correct python/portage combination (you may need to search for old ebuilds) to update portage.
Next step will be python updater, though perhaps emerging libtool beforehand would be a good idea.

And it won't get easier from here, cause now the real fun will start (glibc, gcc, kernel, udev for a start).

Try emerging =sys-apps/portage-2.1.8.3, then python-2.6.something, then latest portage+latest python. Portage should handle the eselect transition by itself.

If that doesn't work, check 'ls /usr/portage/sys-apps/portage/*.ebuild /usr/portage/dev-lang/python/*.ebuild' for the available ebuilds. Start with one, attempt to update to the newest available ebuild (it will fail) and go older and older until it works. Then start with the other package and attempt the newest available ebuild and step older and older until it works. Rinse, repeat.

Set USE=-git for sys-devel/gettext, at least until you get your system current. You will have other problems, but avoiding dev-vcs/git and the resulting secondary dependencies will make your life a little easier.

Moved from Portage & Programming to Duplicate Threads, please see update old system to 10.0 or 2008.1.
