I was at my folks house earlier this week. My mom's machine was set up quite a long time ago and hadn't been updated in at least a year - maybe two. I wasn't even aware she was using Linux. I simply set up a machine, gave her an account and walked away. she told me a few days ago she was using it but was having some trouble with Firefox and asked me to look at it.
I ran emerge --sync which ran correctly as far as I could tell at the time. I then tried emerge -pvDuN system and was greeted with a message about how the profile wasn't set and the system couldn't/wouldn't perform an emerge. /etc/make.profile was pointing at a 2005 profile. When I looked in at profiles that were available there were only 2006 & 2007 profiles. Did this machine just get messed up over time and I didn't notice or did emerge --sync remove the profile from the system thus breaking everything? Thanks, Mark -- [email protected] mailing list
