-k Tells emerge to use binary packages *if available*. I have tried emerge -k '=packageversion' including the needed '', but, failing to find the corresponding ebuild (I've synced and tried to install modular X), it merely states "there are no ebuilds" without looking for a binary package. To reproduce: see #135700 Workaround: emerge -K '=packageversion'

don't do post refreshs... you're submitting dupes every time you refresh (like 135841)
It works for me. Please post the output of `emerge --info` and a list of files in $PKGDIR/All/.
Do you have a binary package with no corresponding ebuild? emerge -k "=xorg-x11-6.8.2-r2" These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order: Calculating dependencies emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "=xorg-x11-6.8.2-r2". --------------- ls -l total 37080 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 37930448 Jun 5 02:21 xorg-x11-6.8.2-r2.tbz2 Gentoo Base System version 1.12.0_pre8 Portage 2.1_rc4-r3 (default-linux/x86/2005.1, gcc-3.4.4, glibc-2.3.4.20040808-r1, 2.6.14-gentoo-r1 i586) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.14-gentoo-r1 i586 AMD-K6(tm) 3D+ Processor dev-lang/python: 2.3.4-r1, 2.4.2 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: [Not Present] dev-util/confcache: [Not Present] sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.8 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1-r2 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.20 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O3 -march=k6-3 -mtune=k6-3 -fforce-addr -momit-leaf-frame-pointer -fomit-frame-pointer -funroll-loops -ftracer -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -march=k6-3 -mtune=k6-3 -fforce-addr -momit-leaf-frame-pointer -fomit-frame-pointer -funroll-loops -ftracer -pipe -fvisibility-inlines-hidden" DISTDIR="/mnt/gentoo5/usr/portage/distfiles" EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp.mirrorservice.org/sites/www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/ http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/" LANG="en_GB" LC_ALL="en_GB" LINGUAS="uk" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude='/distfiles' --exclude='/local' --exclude='/packages'" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/mnt/gentoo5/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.uk.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 3dnow X Xaw3d aalib alsa apache2 apm arts avi berkdb bitmap-fonts blas bzip2 cairo cli cups curl dga dri dvd eds emboss encode expat foomaticdb fortran gdbm ggi gif ginac gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 imlib isdnlog jpeg kerberos lcms ldap lesstif libcaca libg++ libwww mad mikmod mmx motif mpeg mpi mysql ncurses nls nptl nvidia ogg oggvorbis opengl pam pcre pdflib perl plotutils png pppd python qt readline reflection sdl session slang spell spl ssl svg tcpd tetex theora tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts vorbis wmf xml2 xmms xorg xv xvmc zlib elibc_glibc input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse kernel_linux linguas_uk userland_GNU video_cards_nvidia video_cards_nv video_cards_vesa video_cards_fbdev" Unset: CTARGET, INSTALL_MASK, LDFLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
Bug confirmed.

(dependency required by "sys-apps/usbutils-0.71-r1" [binary])
In my testing I've found 2 distinct bugs here. Currently you can merge a binary package for which no ebuild exists, but you must specify the category (due to a bug in the matching behavior) and you must also use the --usepkgonly option due to breakage from the fix for bug #55871. I'll work on correcting both of these issues...
Both issues are fixed in svn r3827 to r3829.
This has been released in 2.1.1_pre2-r7.
