eix displays all information properly except that it marks all versions of packages with '*' and red color and all installed packages thus with '[D]' instead of '[I]' or '[U]'. I have already removed /var/cache/eix and rebuilt it with eix-sync. /etc/eixrc is not altered. This happens only on one of my machines with fresh installation of Gentoo. What might be the reason? Any hints on debugging it?

Probably you have moved /etc/make.profile -> /etc/portage/make.profile (or you have used a tool which moved it there). The new location is only supported since >=eix-0.22.9
eselect on fresh stable Gentoo installation has set this symlink in /etc/portage/make.profile as you have suggested. Thank you for the hint. I'd suggest to stabilize newer eix ASAP because of this.
(In reply to comment #2) > eselect on fresh stable Gentoo installation I didn't know that even stable eselect does this. > I'd suggest to stabilize newer eix ASAP because of this. I released eix-0.22.11 just now because of this and will suggest to make it the new stable candidate since eix-0.22.{10,11} are essentially just bugfix releases of eix-0.22.9. Although this bug is actually a duplicate, I will leave it open until a new version is stable.
bug 379603 is handling the stabilization, close enough to being done. Closing bug.
