Description Jauhien Piatlicki (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-08-04 12:32:22 UTC 
Steps to reproduce:

- add qt overlay

- do eix-update

- execute "eix -e dev-qt/qtcore"

Result:

all the packages from qt overlay are displayed under the 0 slot.

Expected result:

packages should be displayed under the appropriate slot (either 4 or 5).

Possible source of error:

SLOT variable for qt ebuilds in qt overlay are defined in eclasses.

The cache method "parse" and "parse*" uses only a heuristics and is known to be unlreliable.

Use a reliable (but slow) cache method like "ebuild" or "ebuild*" or, even better, produce correct metadata information with egencache.

See the section SPEEDUP of the eix manpage.

Sorry, I already realized that it is my bad setup.

Thanks.
