Similar as in bug #142503, package.mask is not considered by eix, thus showing versions as available when they are masked. gandalf / # ll /etc/make.profile lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 49 Dec 12 22:47 /etc/make.profile -> /usr/portage/profiles/selinux/2005.1/x86/hardened gandalf / # eix sys-apps/coreutils [U] sys-apps/coreutils Available versions: 5.94-r1 6.4 ~6.7 ~6.7-r1 Installed: 5.94-r1 (06-10-13 0:45)(-acl -build nls selinux -static) Homepage: http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/ Description: Standard GNU file utilities (chmod, cp, dd, dir, ls...), text utilities (sort, tr, head, wc..), and shell utilities (whoami, who,...) gandalf / # emerge =coreutils-6.4 These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "=coreutils-6.4" have been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - sys-apps/coreutils-6.4 (masked by: package.mask) # Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org> (3 Sep 2006) # Masked until selinux is updated #144509 gandalf selinux # eix -V eix 0.7.9 (gcc-3.4.6, i686-pc-linux-gnu) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use selinux profile 2. type 'eix ${package}' with ${package} listed in /usr/portage/profiles/selinux/package.mask Actual Results: eix shows maksed packages as available. Expected Results: eix should show masked packages as masked.

Indeed, the package.mask-files in the profile had been read but not applied. I have fixed this in the eix svn trunk (eix-0.8.7).
eix 0.8.7 is in the tree now, thanks
