When cdb module is installed and functioning properly in portage-2.1_pre10-r5, and eix is set to use the cdb cache, it does not find any packages in /usr/portage. This is after upgrading to portage-2.1_pre10, and running emerge --metadata. As I said, portage itself works flawlessly. example: -------------------------------------------------- gentoo ~ # update-eix Reading Portage settings ..

Are we talking about the cdb-module that's available at http://markus-ullmann.de/gentoo/speedhack-portage-2.1/?
No. Here: http://gentoo-wiki.com/TIP_speed_up_portage_with_cdb There are two versions, one for 2.0.x and one for 2.1.x.
Sorry. I just compared the one at your link. Same module as the link I posted.
The "new" cdb-module is currently not supported (and probably will never be). I suggest you switch to PORTDIR_CACHE_METHOD="metadata" ..
Sorry, we will not fix this Please use eix-0.5.5 that just got stable today with PORTDIR_CACHE_METHOD="metadata"
