i do not have ANY idea how to solve this.
"emerge -s" works correctly, re-emerging eix (and portage) does not help.
| Code: | ric mnt # emerge -pv eix
...
[ebuild R ] app-portage/eix-0.3.0-r2 USE="-bash-completion" 0 kB |
i did not update any packages before....
strange thing....
anyone knows what to do?
thanks, ric |

Was discussed already, it is related to the new cache thingy in portage 2.1, add:
| Code: | | PORTDIR_CACHE_METHOD="backport" |
in /etc/eixrc |

hm could not find that thread....
i did not have a eixrc, creating it did not solve it
| Code: | | emerge metadata && update-eix |
also did not help, but now i simply get no results when finding with eix.
| Code: | ric ric # eix wxgtk
Found 0 matches |
i´m using portage-2.1_pre2 at the time.... shouldn´t i?
thanks,
ric |

eix-0.3.0-r2 is working fine with portage-2.1_pre2 here..
...with 'cdb' in /etc/eixrc

when i downgraded to stable portage, it worked.
then i upgraded again
| Code: | ric ric # emerge --metadata
skipping sync
>>> Updating Portage cache: 100%
ric ric # update-eix
Reading Portage settings ..
Building database (/var/cache/eix) from scratch ..
[0] /usr/portage/ (cache: cdb)
Reading 100%
[1] /usr/local/portage/ (cache: none)
Reading 100%
Applying masks ..
Database contains 5 packages in 145 categories.
ric ric # cat /etc/eixrc
PORTDIR_CACHE_METHOD="cdb"
|
with "backport" instead of "cdb" it also does not work.
[ed]
it says it contains 5 packages, this are that one from the overlay |

you do mean on top of /etc/portage/modules ?
mine looks like
| Code: | portdbapi.auxdbmodule = cache.cdb.database
#portdbapi.auxdbmodule = portage_db_cdb.database
#eclass_cache.dbmodule = portage_db_cdb.database

i meant i added it in cdb.py
so i removed it again and added it to /etc/portage/modules (i created it).
now i get:
| Code: |
ric ric # eix-sync
====================================
Error: Failed to import module 'cache.cdb.database'

try sorry I see you were using it earlier..
perhaps you need to re-emerge eix now you have emerged cdb
do you get nothing when doing update-eix?
edit have just had a look back at the original thread
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-261580-highlight-eix.html
and wonder if you installed python-cdb ?
might be an idea to have a look at that thread again..
edit2 well now unclepine stopped working, so I'm going back to 'no cdb' for a while!

I dot the same problem yesterday after doing an emerge --sync and updating portage. eix is actually working except for the garbage at the bottom where the homepage and the description is supposed to be, and the fact that all versios of the ebuild are given in red with an exclamation mark in front of each one of them. Also, there is this weird "no $HOME found in environment" message which appears only when using eix as root:

I emerged cdb, python-cdb, applied the cdb patch, re-emerged eix, did an update-eix and...well, nothing

did you change /etc/eixrc to the following?
| Code: |
PORTDIR_CACHE_METHOD="backport"
#PORTDIR_CACHE_METHOD="cdb"
|
and re-run update-eix

thanks for posting info here, i was having the problem stated in the original post and adding PORTDIR_CACHE_METHOD="backport" to eixrc then doing update-eix fixed it for me.
i know this doesnt help the OP much, just thought i'd share my success/thanks |

I tried with both cdb and backport, and the eix database gets updated really quickly, but the output is still garbled. Could it have something to do with the "no $HOME found in environment" message? I looked at eixrc.h's source - this message is displayed when getenv("HOME") fails:

Negative...
I did an emerge --sync this morning and was hopeful for a minute there because there was a new release of eix (0.5.0-r1), which I was hoping to fix things. It didn't, however, even with the "PORTDIR_CACHE_METHOD=none" in /etc/eixrc. What is more, eix does not recognize itself anymore - it says that 0.5.0-r1 is installed, but there is no 0.5.0-r1 in the "Available versions" section:
| Code: |
root lu-tze# eix eix
No $HOME found in environment. <---- where did [i]that[/i] come from...?

The "No $HOME found in environment" message is still there when running eix as root, and I noticed that winesetuptk also fails with the same message - what is that $HOME variable anyway? Nothing ever complained about a missing $HOME variable until I updated portage the other day;  eix doesn't work properly when run in user mode either, so it can't be just that variable...grrr anyway, emerge--sync is really flying now so I'll leave it like that until I reinstall Gentoo.
Thanks for the input, anyway

$HOME is the environment variable for your home directory, for example "/home/ric"
for testing you can set this manually with "export HOME=/home/..."
i have no idea in wich file this is set... |

But the message pops up only when working as root, and the home directory for the root is /root by default, isn't it, so why should any application need that variable at all? I mean, it should be specified for users, but the root doesn't really have any use for it, I think... 
In any case, everything is falling apart since two days ago - now I can't upgrade portage (I downgraded it to 2.0.54 in order to see if that would fix the eix problem and I can't upgrade any more), and revdep-rebuild doesn't work, either...

it is used for example, if you have a config file in your home, this apps look in $HOME
what does "echo $HOME" say?
however.... probably this won´t solve your eix-problem....
just another idea, are there some outdated config files (etc-update)? |

Hi again,
echo $HOME displays a big black nothing, as expected, and the config files are all up to date...I fear that if I keep trying to "fix" it, the computer won't even boot next time, so I'll do a back-up and reinstall Gentoo from scratch. I'll let you know if that fixes the problem

In order for eix to pick-up all packages, and not just those in /usr/local/portage, I had to add
| Code: | | PORTDIR_CACHE="/usr/portage" |
to my /etc/eixrc.
And putting
| Code: | | PORTDIR_CACHE_METHOD="none" |
in /etc/eixrc got rid of the extra gobbeldy-gook emitted when running eix. Using "backport" did not work for me. |
