i am working on a hotsanic ebuild in PORTDIR_OVERLAY, and that is it.. esearch
probably should ignore PORTDIR_OVERLAY or something

there is no package called 'hotsanic'

the package version looks wrong anyways

That's right, there is no package in portage called hotsanic yet, but I am working on ebuilds in my /usr/local/portage directory (portage overlay).

I reopened the bug because I am not sure the intended behavior is to break when it comes across ebuilds in the portage overlay dir.  Is there any way I can alter my ebuilds so that they don't cause eupdatedb to break?

i told you already the version info on that ebuild looks wrong

esearch uses portage as the backend so in reality, it's portage barfing on bad ebuilds, not esearch
