Created attachment 354280 [details] eix-update output
Does it help if you set PORTDIR="/usr/portage" in make.conf?
No.
It looks like the issue is that eix does not export the new PORTAGE_ECLASS_LOCATIONS variable which is now required by ebuild.sh: http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/portage.git;a=commit;h=56f416255d0fd5ccf29c08af2eb983080be40dc4
A workaround is to use e.g. PORTDIR_CACHE_METHOD="sqlite" and OVERLAY_CACHE_METHOD="sqlite" in eix configuration.
Thanks, Zac: Exporting a sane PORTAGE_ECLASS_LOCATIONS in eix fixes it. This is done in eix git master on BerliOS (>=eix-0.29.2). The problem occurs only with eix's cache method "ebuild*", so even PORTDIR_CACHE_METHOD="parse|ebuild" # instead of "parse|ebuild*" can be used as a (slow) workaround. Of course the better way is anyway to generate metadata for the overlay with egencache as described on the eix manpage in section SPEEDUP.
By the way, PORTAGE_REPO_NAME could be exported in ebuild environment so that it is included in error messages. (The attachment shows "ERROR: app-admin/syslog-ng-3.3.5-r2:: failed (depend phase):" as expansion of "ERROR: ${CATEGORY}/${PF}::${PORTAGE_REPO_NAME} failed${phase_str}:".)

I have the same problem with portage 2.1.13.1, so it's not specific to portage 2.2.

I had the same problem with the roslin overlay and portage alpha. Had to add OVERLAY_CACHE_METHOD="parse|ebuild" and not PORTDIR_CACHE_METHOD="parse|ebuild" to /etc/eixrc to fix it.
