Hi,

I try to update a system.
I try to start by updating portage, but ...

emerge -vp sys-apps/portage

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

Calculating dependencies... done!

[ebuild   U ] sys-apps/sandbox-1.2.20_alpha2-r1 [1.2.17] 272 kB
[ebuild   U ] sys-apps/portage-2.1.5_rc3 [2.1.2.9] USE="doc -build -epydoc (-selinux)" LINGUAS="-pl" 436 kB
*** Portage will stop merging at this point and reload itself,
  then resume the merge.
[ebuild   U ] app-shells/bash-3.2_p33 [3.2_p15-r1] USE="nls -afs -bashlogger -plugins% -vanilla" 2,564 kB
[blocks B   ] <sys-apps/portage-2.1.4_rc1 (is blocking app-shells/bash-3.2_p33)


I.e. the new portage seems to require a new bash, but the new bash is
blocked by the current portage.

What can I do to escape?

Many thanks for a hint,
