I was pretending to know about some packages without needing to run one command for each... but it seems it is not supported :( $ eix -e noto symbola unifont No matches found $ eix noto symbola unifont No matches found Maybe it would be interesting to allow us to do that :) Thanks a lot
For historical reasons (principle of least surprise, in analogy with the find command, and also since the separation between queries is not easily understandable unless you read the manpage very carefully), the default logical concatenation for several queries is --and (-a) Set DEFAULT_IS_OR=true (e.g. in some file in /etc/eixrc or in ~/.eixrc) to change this default. With this setting your command will do what you expect. Alternatively, you can explicitly specify that you want --or (-o) concatenation: eix -e noto -oe symbola -oe unifont
Thanks for the tips!
