The system list will be in your profile, which is /supposed/ to be the |
| 19 |
directory pointed to by the /etc/make.profile symlink. Normally, that |
| 20 |
symlink will point to somewhere in the portage tree, under profiles, which |
| 21 |
would mean a subdir of /usr/portage/profiles (typically |
| 22 |
/usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/amd64/2005.1 or something similar), if |
| 23 |
you haven't customized the path to your $PORTDIR. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Assuming the symlink is pointing to the correct spot in your portage tree, |
| 26 |
if the spot (or your entire portage tree) is somehow empty, an emerge sync |
| 27 |
should correct the issue. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Assuming /usr/portage is still there, perhaps your /etc/make.conf or the |
| 30 |
symlink mentioned above got deleted or corrupted. |
