Description James 2005-12-24 09:40:19 UTC 
I've got a Linux box running Gentoo 2004.3 and I've just done an 'emerge sync' to update Portage. Everything was going OK until the end when this was printed...


--- begin ---
wrote 1761 bytes  read 3351300 bytes  67738.61 bytes/sec
total size is 109519259  speedup is 32.66

>>> Updating Portage cache:   88%!!! Cannot resolve a virtual package name to an ebuild.
!!! This is a bug, please report it. (virtual/libstdc++-3.3)
--- end ---

So here I am, reporting the bug :-)

I did try to do it again, but I get the same error. Now attempting to emerge anything gives this:

--- begin ---
phoenix root # emerge portage
!!! ARCH is not set... Are you missing the /etc/make.profile symlink?
!!! Is the symlink correct? Is your portage tree complete?
--- end ---

/etc/make.profile points at "../usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2004.3", and now I don't know what to do...

You should make sure to update the base-system and Portage at least all six months to the latest stable releases.
