I also tried coping a binary package into /usr/portage/packages/... and emerging it with the -K option but that didn't go either. # rm make.profile # ln -s ../usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2004.2 make.profile # emerge portage !!! Your current profile is deprecated and not supported anymore. !!! Please upgrade to the following profile if possible: default-linux/x86/2005.0 To upgrade do the following steps: # emerge -n '>=sys-apps/portage-2.0.51' # cd /etc/ # rm make.profile # ln -s ../usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2005.0 make.profile # Gentoo has switched to 2.6 as the defaults for headers/kernels. If you wish # to use 2.4 headers/kernels, then you should do the following to upgrade: # emerge -n '>=sys-apps/portage-2.0.51' # cd /etc/ # rm make.profile # ln -s ../usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2005.0/2.4 make.profile # More information can be found at the following URLs: # http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-upgrading.xml # http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/migration-to-2.6.xml !!! 'str' object has no attribute 'insert' !!! 'rm -Rf /usr/portage/profiles; emerge sync' may fix this.
