I havent used my gentoo machine in a long time, since July 2021. I just booted it up and was updating it through a gentoo live usb image. i followed the directions on https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Upgrading_Gentoo#Updating_old_systems wiki page. When i get to the step to update the system and portage using these commands:

Code:

emerge --root=/mnt/host --config-root=/mnt/host --verbose --oneshot sys-apps/portage), i get the following error output.


Code:

- emerge --root=/mnt/host --config-root=/mnt/host --update --newuse --deep --ask @world


I get this error:

Code:

!!! /mnt/host/etc/portage/make.profile is not a symlink and will probably prevent most merges.
!!! It should point into a profile within /home/nao/portage/profiles/
!!! (You can safely ignore this message when syncing. It's harmless.)


!!! Your current profile is invalid. If you have just changed your profile
!!! configuration, you should revert back to the previous configuration.
!!! Allowed actions are limited to --help, --info, --search, --sync, and
!!! --version.


When i run "eselect select list", it shows that profile 23 is selected:

Code:

[21] default/linux/amd64/23.0 (stable) *


Is it possible to update this old system?
