It does, because emerge --sync synchronises your portage tree with the

Hi Alan,
Thanks for the reply.
Also, up front, I'm thinking that my tone is somehow being
misinterpreted. I'm not at all high energy about this. I'm worried now
it's not coming across the way I'm feeling about this. Low key. Low
stress. Just looking to make things better in the future.

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

Profiles are stored in $PORTAGE_DIR/profiles, so they do get removed
during a sync if they are no
# eselect profile list
follow this guide to update profile:

# emerge -uDNav world
that should work.
