Description Daevid Vincent 2005-09-13 19:35:08 UTC
Why doesn't esearch show ALL packages? At the very least, it should have a way 
to show the masked version. Sometimes there is only a masked version of a 
package, and therefore esearch doesn't show any at all.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

Actual Results:  
shows only one unmasked version

Expected Results:  
this should work more like 'eix' does:

daevid ~ # USE='~x86' esearch eix
[ Results for search key : eix ]
[ Applications found : 1 ]

*  app-portage/eix
      Latest version available: 0.3.0-r1
      Latest version installed: [ Not Installed ]
      Size of downloaded files: 281 kB

I should be more clear. it doesn't show the masked versions of the same 
package if there is an unmasked version too.
