my version of app-portage/eix is 0.36.5, I emerged with: $ emerge -pv eix These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild R ] app-portage/eix-0.36.5::gentoo USE="nls sqlite -debug -doc" 0 KiB Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 KiB I just wanted to make use of eix-layman, and all I got was this output: /usr/bin/eix-layman: line 166: $1: unbound variable the eix-layman file is not a symlink to eix, and I clearly don't understand how its compiled or generated during compile, let alone from which files it is compiled.

Thanks for reporting. eix-layman requires an argument ("add" or "remove"). You can display the help text with "eix-layman help" or "eix-layman -h". I agree that eix-layman should better display the help text as well if no argument is given instead of just displaying an unclear error message. Will be fixed in 0.36.6, but release will probably wait for further changes.
Should this be marked as resolved?
ah yes, it has been fixed in 0.36.6 thanks for the hint, and the fix of course
