From what I can understand you just deleted the symlink, which used to point to some directory in /usr/portage/profiles
Are there still any directories left there? I bet there are.
If there is nothing left, extract that stuff from the stage3-tarball.
| Code: | | ln -s /usr/portage/profiles/default-1.0 /etc/make.progile |
btw. emerge rsync definately SHOULD be able to fix that for you...
best regards

yes i have all the profile directories available still in /usr/portage/profiles , but when i create a make.profile directory and then try to symlink it to a directory in /usr/portage/profiles it makes the link but then ls -l /etc/make.profile returns an empty directory.
i am confused |

Man.. You dont create a directory, you should symlink!
When you mkdir /etc/make.profile, and try to ln -s after that, the symlink doesn't get created, cause the directory already exists. If you want to override that directory, use the -f (force) -option with ln.
anyway, in your situation I would recommend:
| Code: | rm -rf /etc/make.profile
emerge rsync |
gl

Don't mkdir the directory just create the link and the make.profile dir will be made..
rm /etc/make.profile
ln -s /usr/portage/profiles/default-1.0 /etc/make.profile
or whatever dir you want to link it to.. |
