 |
|
Hi, I am having some trouble.
So did I do step 0 wrong? Is this the wrong profile for me to move to? Keep in mind this shouldn't IMHO be so complicated as this thing is a headless box I use to store files so no fancy packages or complex install. It runs samba and ssh servers on some drives with zfs,
0. I am trying to migrate from
[12] default/linux/amd64/17.1/no-multilib (exp) *
to
[29] default/linux/amd64/23.0/no-multilib (stable)
1. I did an update world *before* trying to migrate.
2. I set the CHOST as requested.
3. I have no binary packages installed but I ran those steps anyway just to be sure.
4. However the next step (the first actual build) fails. emerge --ask --oneshot sys-devel/binutils
>>> Emerging (1 of 1) sys-devel/binutils-2.42-r1::gentoo
* binutils-2.42.tar.xz BLAKE2B SHA512 size  ... [ ok ]
* binutils-2.42-patches-3.tar.xz BLAKE2B SHA512 size ... [ ok ]
*
* Your profile is of type merged-usr, but your directories
* on-disk are of type split-usr.
* Please switch back to your last valid profile setting and
* read the documentation about merged-usr and profile changes.
*
* ERROR: sys-devel/binutils-2.42-r1::gentoo failed (setup phase):
* ERROR: 23.0 merged-usr profile, but disk is split-usr
PS: I don't mean to be rude but in recent years I have been having more trouble migrating desktop installs of gentoo forward. Keep in mind I have been using gentoo since 2006. I always figured it was me just missing a step or something only to get lost in some non-recoverable dependency heck often python library dependent. This situation however is making me strongly suspect that it's not just me. When I say "non-recoverable" I mean the number of hours spent in recovery exceeds what I know the total reinstall time to be. |

This is not the correct profile.
Select:
| Code: | | [49] default/linux/amd64/23.0/split-usr/no-multilib (stable) |
From the news item:
| Code: | If you are currently using openrc, migrate to 23.0 first, keeping your disk
layout. If you want to move from split-usr to merged-usr, do that afterwards. |
I assume here you're using openrc, otherwise if using systemd:
| Code: | If you are currently using systemd in a split-usr configuration, then first
complete the migration to the corresponding merged-usr profile of the
same profile version. Details on how to do this can be found in the news item [4]. |

Here is a profiles table (linked in the news item).
