1 This amd64 machine hasn't been updated in a while. Now, after updating, any
2 emerge, eix-sync, or ebuild command gets a long message, as follows:
3
4 Littlebird etc # emerge --sync
5 >>> cfg-update-1.8.0-r3 : No new packages have been emerged, checksum index
6 OK...
7 Traceback (most recent call last):
8 File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 4391, in ?

21 I found that /etc/make.profile was linked to a non-existent (now)
22 /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/amd-64/2005.1
23
24 FInding a message about this on the forums, I deleted /etc/make.profile, and
25 linked it to
26 /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/amd-64/2006.1/desktop
27
28 emerge still doesn't work.
29
30 Should I set PORTDIR=/usr/portage in make.conf?
31
32 Thank you for any ideas. I haven't had this machine online for some months.
