Did you upgrade to portage 2.0.51 before switching to a cascading profile like the instructions said?
What instructions? I logged into the machine, realized it had been awhile since I emerge sync'd and emerge world'd so I emerge sync'd. It said the profile was depreciated and I should use the sparc64/2004.3 profile. I made the link and the following happened. What profile can I use to upgrade to the new portage? I tried a number of them all with the same result.
Sorry, I see what you mean now... I missed the 'emerge -n' output of the command... whoops. I got it going again root@jujitsu /etc: env ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="sparc" ARCH="sparc64" emerge -n portage <snip> root@jujitsu /etc: ln -fs /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/sparc/sparc64/2004.3/ make.profile
