Yep, the database layout of MediaWiki changes with the minor version 1.4.x -> 1.5.x (etc.). > How can I update it ? I believe the MediaWiki developers generally provide update scripts [small downtime] and/or a way to export the data, delete the db, recreate the db, and import the data [large downtime]. AFAICT, this is a MediaWiki issue and not a Gentoo issue. You might get better responses using their support system instead. -- "If there's one thing we've established over the years, it's that the vast majority of our users don't have the slightest clue what's best for them in terms of package stability." -- Gentoo Developer Ciaran McCreesh
