I have noticed that after upgrading to eix-0.5.4 when I do an eix-sync it no longer lists upgraded or downgraded packages. I ran some tests while using my overlay, but I expiernce the same problems in the main portage branch These tests were ran with eix-0.5.1-r2 root@ignoreme portage $ eix-sync -m * eix-cache doesn't exist or uses obsolete format. Running update-eix! [ ok ] * Running emerge --metadata ... [ ok ] * Running update-eix ...

I then noticed that when I emerged the latest version it's deafult cache was set to metadata. So I create the eixrc in /etc/ and set it to backport and re ran the tests.

Created attachment 82816 [details] Test ebuild. Could you please give this ebuild/version a try?
Comment on attachment 82816 [details] Test ebuild. Well, this was pretty useless :) Just copy the ebuild from the portage-tree .. the new version is 0.5.5 (eix-0.5.5.ebuild)
I copied over the eix directory into /etc/portage, and renamed the 0.5.4 ebuild to 0.5.5 then did a digest on it. I then tried to emerge that build. I complained about eix-0.5.4-proper-template-usage.patch, so I renamed that one to eix-0.5.5-proper-template-usage.patch and re did the digest. I then tried to emerge again and it barfed on that patch. This is the output from /var/tmp/portage/eix-0.5.5/temp/eix-0.5.5-proper-template-usage.patch-25894.out ***** eix-0.5.5-proper-template-usage.patch ***** ================================================= PATCH COMMAND: patch -p0 -g0 -E --no-backup-if-mismatch < /etc/portage/app-portage/eix/files/eix-0.5.5-proper-template-usage.patch ================================================= can't find file to patch at input line 4 Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

I commented out that line within the ebuild, and it seemed to build properly. I went ahead and did the eix-sync -m and it showed the updated version of eix, I moved an ebuild in an out of the overlay and it properly reported it.
I bumped the version to 0.5.5, this should fix it. Thanks for reporting
