First, i'm not an experienced user of gentoo, just started using it a
couple of months ago, I come from freebsd world which i find it to be
similar in many ways with the gentoo world. I have a really old server
on which I performed emerge --sync and after I had to eselect profile
set to hardened/linux/amd64.
After this i wanted to:
emerge -vp portage
!!! CONFIG_PROTECT is empty
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Is it possible to update this system? If yes please shed some light or
point me in the right direction.
