[gentoo-user] requested to report: emerge bug

[Robert G. Hays]

Got this at ~11:25 PM EST/USA 3/28/06 from an "emerge --sync"...

  "
    >>> Updating Portage cache: 89%!!! Cannot resolve a virtual package name
    to an ebuild.
    !!! This is a bug, please report it. (virtual/libintl-0).
  "

Also, updating the Portage cache gets --real-- slow around 50% through
somewhere short of 66% -- probably around 55% ?

A re-do of the "emerge --sync" gave the same message at the same place.

THEN doing:
    emerge --ask --deep --verbose libstdc++-v3
yields:
  "
    <fgcolor=green>
    These are the files that I would emerge, in order:

    <fgcolor=red>
    !!! ARCH is not set... are you missing the /etc/make.profile symlink?
    !!! Is the symlink correct? Is your portage tree complete?
    <fgcolor=default>
  "

The symlink is there, pointing to:
    /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2004.3
which **USED** to be there, but is -not- now !!!
All **was** working fine until this.
Using eth0 --> dsl_modem (1.5Mb/256Kb).

Shuttle AN35N-ultra-400-plusMCP mobo, AMD2100XP, 1GB, 120+80+120GB, 
52^3CDRW,
ATI A-I-W 9600 w/ 1280x1024 + 1600x1280, assorted USB, etc, etc, blah, blah,
blah...  --  not earth-endangering, but no snoozer neither, and a Westell
dsl modem from bellsouth (my provider) J.I.C. you had some need to know to
help debuging... . . .  .  .   .   .    .    .     .

I was actually looking for libstdc++.so.6, for kbasic, which I need -Now-.

(I have a backup, not too much out of date to matter --
 -- has my portage tree been taken to the "Recycle Bin"? (guess whom's!) )

This profile was obsolete long ago.  It is now removed.  You can
upgrade to the current profile with:

rm /etc/make.profile
ln -s /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2006.0 /etc/make.profile

Beware that some default use flags and virtuals may have changed since 2004.3.

Yup, its a bug, but it is also a KNOWN bug. All you have to go to fix 
that is `emerge portage` and then it will work.It's on b.g.o. (I'm just 
too lazy to look it up now ;) ) I would also recommend upgrading your 
profile.
