Hi,
I've got eix-0.13.3 when I run eix-test-obsolete it gives me this output :

I really think that this output is wrong since those packages comes from the local overlay (the ones after libwbxml) and from synce overlay (the others), and to install them I obviously unmasked them.
I noticed also a strange thing when I run update-eix, each of the overlays I installed using layman has got a "label" (like sunrise, initng, ecc) but synce doesn't :

Does anyone has the same problem ? Do you need further info ?

The crucial point here is the "[?]": eix cannot determine the overlay from which it was installed - it thinks it is neither [1] nor [2] and therefore cannot find the version (with the matching overlay) in the database. Set | Code: | | NONEXISTENT_IF_OTHER_OVERLAY=false |
if you want that eix simply does not take the overlay into account when checking whether the version is in the database.
Of course the other question is [i]why eix cannot determine the overlay. This is related with your second question:
| Quote: | [6] "" /usr/local/portage (cache: parse|ebuild*)

Apparently, you do not have created the file /usr/local/portage/profiles/repo_name containing the name of your local overlay: You should always set a name for each overlay, because portage and eix use this name to determine from which overlay a package was installed.
(This is not exactly correct; eix also uses some heuristic fallback if the name is not set, but this fallback may fail).
Concerning the synce overlay, you should similarly generate a profiles/repo_name file, containing e.g. the content "synce" (or whatever you want as the name). If this file is deleted after upgrade with layman you must either regenerate it or ask the maintainer to provide this file (in a sense, the overlay is incomplete without this file).
Of course, the installed packages will not "magically" change their state by giving the overlay the appropriate names: You must re-emerge these packages (or update the database manually) after setting the overlay names so that eix will properly recognize from which overlay these packages are installed. |

| You are right , I miss the repo_name file on my local overlay, now I created one with the "local" word in it and update-eix seems to recognize it . and after re-emerging a package from local overlay it doesn't appear anymore in eix-test-obsolete . The problem is that for synce overlay I can create that file but on every sync that file will be deleted so I think I must inform the overlay mantainer about it. |

| I was able to tell the synce overlay maintainer to add a repo_name file to his overlay , he did it , I re-emerged packages from synce overlay and now e-t-o doesn't report any issue. |
