I've very glad to read this, since it was my post which encouraged (I
didn't mean to!) you to take the plunge.  I hope no problems pop up for
you, but in case you notice anything screwy, there's a tracker bug at
.

After a pause for thought (quite a long one, with coffee), I went through the 
process again and all has turned out just fine.

I'm impressed at the success of such a complex upgrade. Well done, team!

This can't be right, can it?


It's perfectly OK for there to still be stuff under /lib /usr/lib 
/usr/local/lib.  These are supposed to be things which are arch 
independent, such as config stuff and scripts.  However, I'm pretty sure 
none of them should still be a symlink.  What's the link pointing to?  
I'd be tempted to revert the unsymlink.  Did you check the output of 
"unsymlink-lib --analyze" first?

The 17.1 profiles are soon to be marked stable, so I went ahead and
migrated a little over a week ago, following the draft news item Michał
Górny recently posted to -dev.  FWIW, the migration seemed to go
smoothly and I haven't noticed anything breaking except
app-office/kmymoney won't build, apparently because the ebuild expects
something to be in /lib which isn't there any more.  But one dev said
it builds fine on his 17.1 test system, so I dunno.  I filed a bug,
.
