Other way round perhaps?

Don't mix arch and ~arch.
Or emerge eix after portage. I specifically implemented a workaround for this one and it is mentioned in the postinst notes. eix is only 9 days old and it seems to be bugfree, but I do not think I can convince x86 to mark it stable now. So tell me, what do you want? What should I do with your report?

(Not explicit at all in the postinst message) Nevertheless, it's not a very beautiful workaround. But if you think it's sufficient, so let's close the bug.
