You need to use portage, the gentoo package manager to update equo.
layman -a :adds the sabayon and sabayon-distro repository ports to portage.
layman --sync ALL :makes sure the different ports play together,
emerge --sync :updates the portage package list.
## You can do two and three of the above with one command: emerge --sync && layman --sync sabayon && layman --sync sabayon-distro
emerge entropy equo :installs equo and entropy using the gentoo package manager.
Now you can do your updates: equo upgrade --ask : --ask shows you what will be upgraded, any dependencies, etc. Just type 'y' a couple of times and you're off and running.
Hello,
I tried these steps and I'm still getting the same error:

This one did it for me. Most of the time when updating an old sabayon system, this is it.
Somehow 19.03 fails to install so I install using 18.05 but if you try to upgrade such an old system, after a while, errors with rigo/equo start coming.
