I have tried, with bot current eix versions (with eix-update), but with no luck.

I'm guessing that portage is showing it because it's installed, but eix does not because that package has been removed from the tree.

Hi Micheal,

You're right, it's not part of the portage :(

FTW, all those old KDE4 packages are still in kde-sunset overlay if you can't bear to part with them!
