[gentoo-user] upgrade to gcc-6.4.0

[gentoo-user] upgrade to gcc-6.4.0

[thelma]

I'm upgrading one of my older boxes to newer gcc-6.4.0
After switching to gcc-6.4.0 
source /etc/profile

running: emerge --ask --oneshot sys-devel/libtool

!!! Your current profile is deprecated and not supported anymore.
!!! Use eselect profile to update your profile.
!!! Please upgrade to the following profile if possible:

        default/linux/amd64/17.0/desktop

You may use the following command to upgrade:

        eselect profile set default/linux/amd64/17.0/desktop


These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild     U  ] sys-devel/automake-1.15.1-r2 [1.15-r2] USE="{-test%}" 
[ebuild   R    ] sys-devel/libtool-2.4.6-r3 
[blocks B      ] <sys-apps/sandbox-2.10-r4 ("<sys-apps/sandbox-2.10-r4" is blocking sys-devel/libtool-2.4.6-r3)

 * Error: The above package list contains packages which cannot be
 * installed at the same time on the same system.
------
I did not switch to new profile "17" yet.  I was trying to rebuild "sys-devel/libtool" first, but got a blocker.

I upgraded the "sys-apps/sandbox" and now it allows me to run:
emerge --ask --oneshot sys-devel/libtool

So why didn't emerge do it automatically, upgrade the "sandbox" ?

There's a news item describing how to upgrade the profile. It involves a 
full world rebuild though, so you should probably schedule that 
appropriately.

   $ eselect news list

to see current news items. The item in question has the title:

   [number] New 17.0 profiles in the Gentoo repository

to read it, use:

   $ eselect news read [number]

Yes, I was following it.

----------quote-----------
 If you are not already running a hardened setup with PIE enabled, then
switching the profile involves the following steps:
If not already done,
* Use gcc-config to select gcc-6.4.0 or later as system compiler
* Re-source /etc/profile:
    . /etc/profile
* Re-emerge libtool
    emerge -1 sys-devel/libtool
Then,
* Select the new profile with eselect
* Re-emerge, in this sequence, gcc, binutils, and glibc
    emerge -1 sys-devel/gcc:6.4.0
    emerge -1 sys-devel/binutils
    emerge -1 sys-libs/glibc
* Rebuild your entire system
    emerge -e @world
--------end quote----------

Though, I still run onto the error I posted above but it is solved now.

Running "emerge --oneshot" doesn't consider reverse dependencies.

You can manually inject those with

# emerge --ask --oneshot sys-devel/libtool --reinstall-atoms=sys-apps/sandbox
                                             ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

If you want to inject more than one dependency, use

# ... --reinstall-atoms={a,b,c}

or

# ... --reinstall-atoms="a b c"
