Your command to update portage seem tricky and obscure to me. Why |
| 17 |
specify versions? If you have synced, it KNOWS the latest version and |
| 18 |
won't try to emerge the others... Why tell it to only emerge the |
| 19 |
latest with "-n" if you can simply update it with "-u"? And specially, |
| 20 |
why the heck put the whole ">=" stuff? |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Try simply "emerge -u portage"... If it still doesn't work, try it |
| 23 |
after "emerge-webrsync && emerge --sync && emerge --metadata && emerge |
| 24 |
-u portage", but I think the --metadata is done in the emerge --sync |
| 25 |
part anyway, so you can bypass that command ;) |

I STRONGLY advice you to DON'T DO THAT. I can imagine a LOT of |
| 30 |
problems comming from this. If you really think you broke portage's |
| 31 |
profiles, simply do as it said: 'rm -Rf /usr/portage/profiles; emerge |
| 32 |
--sync', that should fix it. |
