Specifically in one case. Here is some output:
>>esearch portage
[...]

*  sys-apps/portage
      Latest version available: 2.0.50-r11
      Latest version installed: 2.0.50-r10
      Size of downloaded files: [no/bad digest]
      Homepage:    http://www.gentoo.org
      Description: Portage ports system
>>etcat -v portage
*  sys-apps/portage :
        [M  ] 2.0.50-r11 (0) OVERLAY
        [M~ ] 2.0.51_rc7 (0) OVERLAY
        [  I] 2.0.51-r2 (0) OVERLAY
Which is unwanted behaviour.

You have to run eupdatedb to get the index updated.

instead of running `emerge --sync`, try running `esync`
it'll run eupdatedb for you after it runs `emerge --sync`
