The problem was caused by such a long delay between syncs. A profile is |
| 9 |
deprecated a long time before it is removed, during that period you would |
| 10 |
have received warnings about this and advised to switch to a currently |
| 11 |
supported profile. |

I understand your frustration, but the standard Gentoo portage setup |
| 14 |
isn't really suited to an environment where updates are only applied |
| 15 |
every couple of years. That's not really a good way to manage an Internet |
| 16 |
connected computer anyway, how many security fixes have you missed? |
