Whenever I run eix, I get an output that looks like this: root@brooklyn:/home/paolo> eix eix -- Invalid line in /etc/../usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/amd64/2005.1/package.mask(5): "-=app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-glibc-1000" Can't read category. * app-portage/eix Available versions: 0.3.0-r1 0.3.0-r2 0.5.0 0.5.0-r1 0.5.1 Installed: 0.5.1 Homepage: http://dev.croup.de/proj/eix Description: Small utility for searching ebuilds with indexing for fast results
