 |
|
Hey, I only did a quick google and gentoo forum search so don't flame me if i missed something, but i just did a stage4 restore and i excluded the /usr/portage from the backup, so logicially now i get this error when i try to do anything in portage
| Code: | !!! /etc/make.profile is not a symlink and will probably prevent most merges.
!!! It should point into a profile within /usr/portage/profiles/
!!! (You can safely ignore this message when syncing. It's harmless.)
!!! If you have just changed your profile configuration, you should revert
!!! back to the previous configuration. Due to your current profile being
!!! invalid, allowed actions are limited to --help, --info, --sync, and
!!! --version. |
Im sure there is some simple command,
Is there a quick fix?
Thanks in advance
PS the only things i found on searches pertained to people who actually already had files in their directory and just messed something up, naturally i have no files in it.

go get latest portage.
untar into /usr
emerge --sync
then
ln -snf /usr/portage/profiles/<profile name> /etc/make.profile
example: ln -snf /usr/portage/profiles/default/linux/x86/2008.0/desktop /etc/make.profile
