I suddenly am getting "Your current profile is deprecated and not supported anymore. Please upgrade to the following profile if possible. default-linux/amd64/2004.3" . It would be nice if the message also told me how to go about doing this. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
we dont know what profile you're using so we cant fix it in other words, you neglected to provide `emerge info` like the bug report page said to
mea culpa, but my comment was not about the specifics, but about getting a more informative warning message---such as "please see 'man emerge-help-update-profile' for more information" or "you need to run something like 'emerge updatemyprofile' to fix this. it is not about my specific ignorance. !!!

Valid complaint, should contain a pointer to a doc at least.
Not our bug though (Hint: everything but the first line in the deprecated file is used as upgrade instructions).
dear marius: can you please be a little more explicit? (btw, I suggested a documentation pointer as an enhancement; its not a bug). regards, /iaw
the upgrade message is part of the profile, not portage that's why the 'fix' isnt part of portage and why i needed to know what profile you were using fixed in cvs
great addition to how to fix this. I worked through it, and it was fine---except for one minor hiccup. in the path, you repeated default-linux twice. regards, /iaw
