Since the suffix was added, I noticed the following issues: 1) The /usr/src/linux symlink was not updated to the latest kernel automatically. Before 5.11.4 it was updated. 2) Even after I manually use eselect to change the symlink, I still get the following messages for both currently installed packages: * Messages for package sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel-bin-5.11.5: * /usr/src/linux points at another kernel, leaving it as-is. * Please use 'eselect kernel' to update it when desired. * Messages for package sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel-bin-5.11.4: * /usr/src/linux points at another kernel, leaving it as-is. * Please use 'eselect kernel' to update it when desired. Is adding suffixes changed something? Was is the expected workflow now? I didn't notice any issues with the kernel so far, but it's not clear what exactly I should do with the messages above and why symlink do not get updated. FOr me it seems that something is wrong here and the suggestions don't work. Reproducible: Always
To clarify: the issue is about the message when installing the kernel. THe symlink itself points to the correct location: root@gnpc ~ # ll /usr/src total 8.0K lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Mar 10 07:01 linux -> linux-5.11.5-gentoo-dist/ drwxr-xr-x 24 root root 4.0K Mar 10 07:04 linux-5.11.4-gentoo-dist/ drwxr-xr-x 24 root root 4.0K Mar 10 07:03 linux-5.11.5-gentoo-dist/
I think I see the problem. Will fix in a few minutes.
