First, performing an emerge of some package told me to change my profile to 2005.0, my changing the /etc/make.profile link. Fine; this I'm used to. However, after doing this, I get an error telling me that I've failed to follow the migration path. While annoying (I did, indeed, follow the instructions of the previous step), not a big deal. So I browse to the supplied link in the error message (http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/amd64/2005.0-upgrade-amd64.xml) only to discover that this document is marked as deprecated. There's no mention, however, of what it has been deprecated *by*. So after looking around for a while for something more recent (and not finding anything) I try to follow the instructions anyway. First, I re-link back to 2004.3, and start the automated "make" process. It chugs for a bit, and then at "emerge -v --oneshot glibc" it fails, complaining about not being able to find i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc. So I move /usr/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc out of the way and symlink to /usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/3.3/i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc (which *does* work) and run the process again. It craps out again complaining about an inability to compute the suffix of object files. I suspect that, despite trying to follow the instructions, my system is munged. (1) Where is the current documentation on how to do the migration? (2) Why does emerge point to the incorrect (deprecated) documentation? (4) How do I fix my system, and get it running 2005.0? Thanks. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

Oh, here's something interesting. I put the I just deleted the 'profile-update' directory and tried everything from scratch (again), and now I get this: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc libsandbox.o sandbox_futils.o -shared -fPIC -ldl -lc -nostdlib -lgcc -o libsandbox.so /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.3/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.3/../../../libdl.so when searching for -ldl /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.3/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.3/../../../libdl.a when searching for -ldl /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.3/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libdl.so when searching for -ldl /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.3/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libdl.a when searching for -ldl /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.3/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -ldl collect2: ld returned 1 exit status So now it looks as if it has stopped trying to use i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc, but is dying on ld.

> The general guide is this one: > http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-upgrading.xml That's great. It'd be nice if that's the one pointed to by /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/amd64/2005.0/profile.bashrc rather than the deprecated one. When I try that one, I get the second error message about ld not being able to find libdl, and incompatible libraries.

In an attempt to fix this, I've tried re-emerging glibc, which fails. I'm guessing that my system is, at this point, pretty well screwed. Any tips on how I can fix this?

I re-emerged the emul-linux packages -- that all worked. I'm still getting errors when trying to emerge portage ("cannot find -ldl") or glibc ("cannot compute suffix of object files"). Also, other packages that *were* working a few days ago are starting to fail; mplayer32 (the 32-bit build of mplayer) is complaining that it can't find /lib/ld-linux.so.2 when I ldd it. --- SER
I get some weird errors too. I used to run a pure 64-bit system, but before trying to update to 2005.0 I did a '--newuse --update' with multilib enabled.

the link was fixed quite a while ago, a newer upgrade guide where these problems will be fixed will follow very soon, plus this bug is a mess ;) -> closing
