[gentoo-user] emerge fails after eix-sync

This amd64 machine hasn't been updated in a while.  Now, after updating, any
emerge, eix-sync, or ebuild command gets a long message, as follows:

Littlebird etc # emerge --sync
>>> cfg-update-1.8.0-r3 : No new packages have been emerged, checksum index
OK...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 4391, in ?
    retval = emerge_main()
  File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 4100, in emerge_main
    settings, trees, mtimedb = load_emerge_config()
  File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 4011, in load_emerge_config
    trees = portage.create_trees(trees=trees, **kwargs)
  File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 7122, in create_trees
    config_incrementals=portage_const.INCREMENTALS)
  File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 1057, in __init__
    for k, v in rawprofileuse.iteritems():
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'iteritems'


I found that /etc/make.profile was linked to a non-existent (now)
   /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/amd-64/2005.1

FInding a message about this on the forums, I deleted /etc/make.profile, and
linked it to
   /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/amd-64/2006.1/desktop

emerge still doesn't work.

Should I set PORTDIR=/usr/portage in make.conf?

Thank you for any ideas.  I haven't had this machine online for some months.

In the future at the very least include what version of portage you use with a 
traceback from portage like this. In this case, however, it just requires to 
search bugzie:

Gee whiz!  That was fast!

That didn't seem like the same bug, exactly, but the cure worked.  mkdir
/etc/portage/profile !
