Following the instructions here: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-quickinstall.xml#doc_chap2
It states the following:
| Quote: |
Recompiling only the packages that have already been updated since the release or that are affected by your new USE flags will take enough time. You might also have to remove packages that block your upgrade. Look for "[blocks B ]" in the output of emerge -vpuD --newuse world and use emerge -C to remove them. |
Doing a # emerge -vpuD --newuse world gives me the following results as [blocks b]
portage is blocking bash
mktemp is blocking coreutils
coreutils is blocking mktemp
So following the tutorial I can't really go futher, it suggests to emerge -C any block b packages, but i don't feel comfortable removing bash, or coreutils for that matter. Wouldn't this bork the system? |

Yes, it would bork the system. Don't to it that way. If you search around (use google with site:forums.gentoo.org), you will find several threads on this very issue that may help you.  |

| Quick guide wrote: | Summary: The Quick install guide covers the Gentoo install process in a non-verbose manner. Its purpose is to allow users to perform a stage3 install in no time. Users should already have prior experience with installing Gentoo Linux if they want to follow this guide....
New users should read the Handbook as it gives a better overview about the installation process. |
This guide is apparently not suited to your level of experience, use the regular handbook.
For an easier post-install upgrade, you might want to use a more recent stage3 from funtoo.org |

Get rid of mktemp, since coreutils recently adopted mktemp's function.
Obviously you don't want to unmerge portage and bash (duh). I believe the correct way to handle this blockage is something along the lines of
| Code: | # emerge --oneshot =app-shells/bash-3.2_p17-r1
# emerge --oneshot sys-apps/portage
# emerge --oneshot app-shells/bash |

I know I recently ran into this problem, but for me unmerging and then emerging the newest version of coreutils (which now includes mktemp) the problem is no more.
