/etc/make.profile is a link to
/usr/portage/default-linux/x86/2005.0 but there's a
newer dir ../2005.1. The packages file seems to have
been updated. Dare I delete the present link and point
it to the newer dir? Why did whatever code made the
original link(I didn't put it there) not make a new
one to the latest dir? That's what makes me hesitate.
