I think the profiles are updated when you sync, which is why you got |
| 22 |
that error message. You may want to either sync again or run emerge |
| 23 |
--metadata one. I seem to recall running into this and it can't update |
| 24 |
the database without that link being correct. The metadata part should |
| 25 |
fix it. |

That said, someone feel free to correct me if I am wrong. |
