Yep, I renamed the old one, switched the repo conf to the new /var/db |
| 13 |
location, and let emrge --sync clone a new repo directory using |
| 14 |
git. |

The 'git clone' finished OK, but the sync still failed (with a very |
| 17 |
obtuse Python exception and stack dump) when it got to the news |
| 18 |
processing step. After a bit of googling I found a hint that failure |
| 19 |
happens when there is no profile selected. I ran 'eselet profile set |
| 20 |
N'. After that, the sync completed OK. |

That seems like something that should be documented somewhere... |

I'll see if I can find an appropriate spot in the Wiki. |
