I got app-portage/esearch-0.7.1 (but same bug when i tried -r4), and updated to sys-apps/portage-2.2 branch (some overlays require 2.2 ). Now, esync and esearch complain: moon-gen-3 ~ # esearch foobar /usr/lib/portage/pym/output.py:39: DeprecationWarning: DEPRECATION NOTICE: The output module was replaced by portage.output [ Results for search key : foobar ] [ Applications found : 0 ] moon-gen-3 ~ # esync /usr/lib/portage/pym/output.py:39: DeprecationWarning: DEPRECATION NOTICE: The output module was replaced by portage.output * Importing old portage tree At the beginning, esync failed; but after running "emerge --sync" manually once, i dont have any more the old bug. It's working way better, so, can not reproduce the bug i had yesterday (which got fixed, obviously, by doing emerge --sync). Please make esearch fully compliant with portage-2.2: - fixing those deprecation warnings - detect portage 2.2 so that we dont have to run emerge --sync manually once - deal with new features Thanks.

Use eix. esearch probably will be removed (Bug #249414). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 231223 ***
