Gentoo HOWTO Update Portage?

Even the simple things can confuse. Imagine seeing this message?

* An update to portage is available. It is _highly_ recommended
* that you update portage now, before any other packages are updated.
* Please do so and then update ALL of your configuration files.

What would a reasonable person do? Cry? Probably. Why doesn't it strike me immediately to use portage to update portage? I don't know.

The solution:

emerge portage

well, when I emerge portage, I find that portage is blocked because it conflicts with the current version. So, yea, I think I will cry.
