After emerging app-portage/ufed-0.40.1 and starting ufed I will get errormessages. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge app-portage/ufed 2.ufed 3. Actual Results: After starting ufed I got the following errormessages: /etc/make.profile is not a symlink Compilation failed in require at /usr/sbin/ufed line 9. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/sbin/ufed line 9. Expected Results: working, no errors I think the problem is that /make.profile was moved to /etc/portage. The following command will help as a workarround: ln -s ../usr/portage/profiles/default/linux/x86/10.0 /etc/make.profile

I hit this bug too. It appeared after: 2012-09-09-make.conf-and-make.profile-move and moving make.profile to the new location. (or a new install) ufed should be updated to use new locaiton instead of the old one.
