cd /
tar xvjpf /usr/portage/.../portage-***.tbz2
then your emerge is OK

Hi

it does not work

I tried it with a portage tgz and a stage 1 tgz ...

the same problem anyway

There is a portage-rescue file in /usr/portage/sys-apps/portage/files

I'm not exactly sure if zend's path was exactly correct. Did you try this?
