eix-remote update

emerge -pv eix

[ebuild   R   ~] app-portage/eix-0.27.6  USE="dep nls sqlite -clang -debug -doc -optimization -security -strong-optimization -tools -zsh-completion" LINGUAS="ru -de" 0 kB

if /etc/eixrc contains "REMOTE_DEFAULT=true"
eix remote update fails ( see attachement "eix-remote update")

if to comment REMOTE_DEFAULT=true string eix-remote update  working normal.

Comment 1 Martin Väth 2013-03-18 10:45:23 UTC

This should be fixed in eix git trunk (>=eix-0.28.3).
Until the new version is released you can use as a workaround
EIX_REMOTE=false eix-update ...
Indeed, the current fix does practically nothing else.

Closing as new version is in the tree
