So two days ago I emerge sync, and get the message:
Code:
 
!!! Your current profile is deprecated and not supported anymore.
!!! Please upgrade to the following profile if possible:
        default-amd64-2004.0

Searching the forums I find I should wait a while, and emerge sync again. I did that yesterday and today, but I keep getting the same message. So I tried "emerge default-amd64-2004.0" for kicks, and it says I have dependancy problems:
Code:

!!! Problem in null/default-amd64-2004.0 dependencies.
!!! Specific key requires an operator (null/default-amd64-2004.0) (try adding an '=')

That's where I'm at now.

I'm just wondering, will this resolve its self in a couple days? Should I look for a default-amd64-2004.0 ebuild and try to fix that? Most of all, can I emerge stuff now, and will just ignoring this message break anything?

There don't seem to have been any problems on my box from emerging stuff with the message present.

IMPORTANT NOTE

The amd64 profile has changed from 1.4 to 2004.0 you must update your /etc/make.profile symlink. The error you're probably receiving is probably:

!!! Your current profile is deprecated and not supported anymore.
!!! Please upgrade to the following profile if possible:
default-amd64-2004.0

To resolve this issue, follow these commands:

rm -f /etc/make.profile
ln -sf /usr/portage/profiles/default-amd64-2004.0 /etc/make.profile

For a full view go check this page often : http://dev.gentoo.org/~brad_mssw/amd64-tech-notes.html

It's the log book of Brad House (the main developper behind the amd64 platform). If you have any problems go check this page first ;).

Alright, everything's working now despite some user created bonus problems.

Didn't think of cheking Brad's page, although that would have been logical. I'll try to keep it in mind for the future.
