Sync and upgrade your system to the newest package versions + to reduce the risk of issues. + +2. Install the tool: + # emerge -1v app-portage/unsymlink-lib + +3. Run 'unsymlink-lib --analyze' and check the output for obvious + mistakes. If you need to perform any changes to the system, remember + to run 'unsymlink-lib --analyze' again afterwards. + +[past this point do not call emerge or modify /usr manually] + +4. This is a very good time to make a backup. + +5. Run 'unsymlink-lib --migrate'. You can add '--pretend' first to see + what is going to happen. + +6. Reboot your system. Check if important programs work. + In particular, verify that e.g. 'emerge --info' works (but do not + install anything). If you hit any serious problems, you can use + 'unsymlink-lib --rollback' to revert the changes and return to + step 3. + +7. Run 'unsymlink-lib --finish'. You can add '--pretend' first to see + what is going to happen but note that you're going to see a very long + list of files to remove. + +8. Switch the profile, e.g.: + # eselect profile set default/linux/amd64/17.1/desktop + +[at this point you can start using emerge again. emerge will then + not display this message anymore, but the remaining steps are still + required!] + +9. Rebuild gcc: + # emerge -1v sys-devel/gcc:9.3.0 + [ repeat for other slots you will be using ] + +10. If you are using a multilib profile, rebuild all 32-bit packages. + This can be done using: + # emerge -1v --deep /lib32 /usr/lib32 /usr/lib/llvm/*/lib32 + +11. Once the last 32-bit package is rebuilt, your package manager + should remove the orphaned /lib32 and /usr/lib32 symlinks. If that + does not happen, remove them manually: + # rm /lib32 /usr/lib32 + +For known issues, please see bug #506276 [1]. If you have any problems +with the new profiles or the migration procedure, please report a bug +and make it block the tracker. + +[1] https://bugs.gentoo.org/506276 |
