505 | <p> |
|
|
506 | Although this section does not seem to integrate well in this upgrading guide, |
|
|
507 | it is quite important. Any profile listed above this section requires a Portage |
|
|
508 | version that supports cascading profiles. However, some obsoleted profiles don't |
|
|
509 | allow the user to upgrade Portage or the user is using a profile that isn't |
|
|
510 | available anymore - any attempt to upgrade Portage will result in a failure. |
|
|
511 | </p> |
|
|
512 | |
|
|
513 | <p> |
|
|
514 | To work around this problem, users can set a temporary symbolic link to the |
|
|
515 | <e>obsolete</e> profile, allowing them to upgrade their Portage after which |
|
|
516 | they can continue with the upgrade procedure set forth in this guide: |
