If it does !!! not then please report this to bugs.gentoo.org and, if possible, a dev !!! on #gentoo (irc.freenode.org) Your command to update portage seem tricky and obscure to me. Why specify versions? If you have synced, it KNOWS the latest version and won't try to emerge the others... Why tell it to only emerge the latest with -n if you can simply update it with -u? And specially, why the heck put the whole = stuff? Try simply emerge -u portage... If it still doesn't work, try it after emerge-webrsync emerge --sync emerge --metadata emerge -u portage, but I think the --metadata is done in the emerge --sync part anyway, so you can bypass that command ;) Is it possible to use portage from a new system, via quickpkg? I STRONGLY advice you to DON'T DO THAT. I can imagine a LOT of problems comming from this. If you really think you broke portage's profiles, simply do as it said: 'rm -Rf /usr/portage/profiles; emerge --sync', that should fix it. -- Daniel da Veiga Computer Operator - RS - Brazil -BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK- Version: 3.1 GCM/IT/P/O d-? s:- a?

RE: [gentoo-user] Upgrade Portage 2004.0 to 2005.x fails
There are significant changes between 2004.0 and 2006.0 . My first recomendation would be to upgrade the compiler as follows: You don't necessarily need esearch if you don't already have it, but just get the information needed here. (modify as needed) #!/bin/bash OLD_VER=`esearch --nocolor -o %vi\n ^gcc$` NEW_VER=`esearch --nocolor -o %va\n ^gcc$` GCC_CONF_VER=`echo $NEW_VER|sed -e 's/-r[0-9]//g'` if [ $OLD_VER -eq $NEW_VER ] ; then echo GCC up to date exit 0 fi emerge -v =sys-devel/gcc-$NEW_VER gcc-config i686-pc-linux-gnu-$GCC_CONF_VER env-update source /etc/profile emerge --oneshot -v libtool emerge --oneshot sys-libs/libstdc++-v3 emerge -e system emerge -e world emerge -C =sys-devel/gcc-$OLD_VER /sbin/fix_libtool_files.sh $OLD_VER You'll also need to read the 2.4 to 2.6 kernel upgrade documents. There, you'll get an idea of what to expect with respect to your own system (i.e. udev etc.). You might also want to look at the articale on how to replace a running redhat system with Gentoo. Though you're trying to replace Gentoo with Gentoo, the concepts still apply. I notice you may also need to upgrade from ipchains to iptables. This is a conmpletely different topic all together. Research it before trying any quick fixes. -Original Message- From: Jeremy Olexa [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Mon 5/8/2006 9:45 AM To: gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] Upgrade Portage 2004.0 to 2005.x fails -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Teresa and Dale wrote: Denny Schierz wrote: hi, i have two very old gentoo boxes and i can't upgrade them.

(modify as needed) thanks for that script. At the moment, emerge is running and compile gcc. I hope that everything goes well. It is only a 400Mhz, so it takes a lot of time, to update 157 packages. the only thing i can do, is waiting :-) cu denny -- Sicherheit verständlich http://www.sides.de GnuPG Key http://pgpkeys.pca.dfn.de:11371/pks/lookup?op=getsearch=0x2A5CE192AB7D3FE0 signature.asc Description: Dies ist ein digital signierter Nachrichtenteil

I need to chagne mine to I guess. My fiance just got in the hospital so it won't be any time soon though. I'll be planted beside her bed for a while, if not in it beside her. Only thing is, she has some kind of infection. They may not let me. :-( Glad that manual install worked.
