I upgraded my portage profile to 2005.0 by making /etc/make.profile -> ../usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2005.0 link. Now, whenever I use emerge, I get a bunch of error messages: --- Invalid atom in /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2005.0/packages: >=linux-headers-2.5 --- Invalid atom in /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2005.0/packages: >=xbox-sources-2.5 --- Invalid atom in /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2005.0/packages: >=win4lin-sources-2.5 --- Invalid atom in /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2005.0/packages: >=vanilla-sources-2.5 --- Invalid atom in /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2005.0/packages: >=usermode-sources-2.5 --- Invalid atom in /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2005.0/packages: >=uclinux-sources-2.5 --- Invalid atom in /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2005.0/packages: >=rsbac-sources-2.5 --- Invalid atom in /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2005.0/packages: >=openmosix-sources-2.5 --- Invalid atom in /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2005.0/packages: >=hardened-sources-2.5 --- Invalid atom in /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2005.0/packages: >=grsec-sources-2.5 --- Invalid atom in /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2005.0/packages: >=gentoo-sources-2.5 --- Invalid atom in /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2005.0/packages: >=ck-sources-2.5 --- Invalid atom in /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2005.0/packages: >=ac-sources-2.5 The file should list >=sys-kernel/packagename instead of >=packagename.

GO BACK TO 2004.3 OR FACE THE WRATH OF THE GODS!!! I really have no desire to work with this, since you are using a profile that will not only change *constantly* between now and 2005.0, but one that is known not to work due to still being in development. Quit trying to be so damn bleeding edge. You know that 2004.3 is the current stable profile. What even gave you the idea that 2005.0 would work? At the time I commited that, it was simply to give dsd an idea of what it would be like and for him to verify that I had all of the proper packages for our eventual kernel moves. It is known to be wrong. I hav efixed it now, just so I don't get any more of these "bugs" reported. Unfortunately, there is no way for us to mark a profile as "unstable" or anything. I guess I just need to mark it deprecated. Anyway... the solution is for you to quit using this profile.
Oops, sorry. I don't know what I was thinking when I did that "upgrade". Have gone to 2004.3 now. Thanks, Alok
