Although the problem looks similar, it is rather different: This time the problem is apparently on the machine which should generate the tarball: This tarball is empty I do not know what goes wrong on this machine (apparantly after the upgrade of eix), and currently I have no time to look into the issue.

So please set EIX_USER and EIX_GROUP (in the environment or in /etc/eixrc) correspondingly to the user/group you need if you run eix-update as root (if you need a different user/group than portage). See bug 408509.
Blergh. What an unexpected trap, changing behaviour like that is marginally rude. Changing the directory permissions fixes the problem, new cache should be baked in ~15 minutes.
(In reply to comment #6) > Blergh. What an unexpected trap, changing behaviour like that is marginally > rude. Yes, I am sorry, but I think the security gain for most users (most users just had to run eix-update as root, although it is a golden rule to use the least possible permissions) outlaws the trouble.
