AMD64 FAQ page is in conflict with HOWTO AMD64 page - This is confusing http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-amd64-faq.xml#multilib says: Currently you cannot switch from a no-multilib to a multilib-enabled profile, so think over your decision twice before you use the no-multilib profile. http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_AMD_64#multilib_vs_no-multilib_profile says: If you decided to use a no-multilib system and removed all multilib components from your system previously you can change back to a multilib system (e.g. you want to use wine or virtualbox now), even though the gentoo documentation says that you cannot switch from a no-multilib to a multilib-enabled profile (dunno who wrote that). Just follow these steps[...] Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Then fix the wiki yourself, because that's wrong. Is it not obvious that it's a terrible hack? CCing the AMD64 team just in case they want to review the FAQ that they themselves wrote, to see if anything's changed. In the meantime, marking as INVALID. AMD64, if you think the documentation needs to be updated, please reopen with procedures (not copied from the hackish wiki article; there are license issues.)
