[gentoo-user] Heads Up - switching to profile 17.1 is not as easy as it sounds

[Helmut Jarausch]

I had some trouble switching to the new profile 17.1.
Following the advice in the news item didn't suffice.

I had to reinstall some packages "by hand", e.g.
I had to reinstall util-linux quite early.
I had to reinstall x11-libs/libva without the opengl USE flag, since it  
couldn't find libopenGL otherwise.

After reinstalling mesa (which depends on libva), I'll try to reinstall  
x11-libs/libva with the opengl USE flag.

Currently I'm reemerging gcc bintuils glibc before I proceed with the  
other packages selected by
emerge -v1 /usr/lib/gcc /lib32 /usr/lib32

Perhaps, it's only me.
