I don't know if this is bug or not since it's in test branch, just wanted to let you know. Good luck, you are doing great work. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

as far as I can tell pixie can't run on 64bit: grep KEYWORD *.ebuild pixie-1.4.1-r1.ebuild:KEYWORDS="-amd64 ~ppc sparc x86" pixie-1.4.5.ebuild:KEYWORDS="-amd64 ~ppc ~sparc ~x86" as you can see it's explicitly marked "not AMD64", so emerge will not try to install it.
