Sometime between May 22nd and May 30 permissions on /var/lib/portage changed from

drwxr-sr-x 2 root portage 168 May 22 10:33 portage

to

drwxrws--- 2 root portage 200 May 30 18:35 portage

This broke much of the use of emerge as ordinary user. F or example emerge --search does not work for normal user anymore.
I hope it wasn't intended ?

You should use eix anyway. It's a lot faster than emerge --search. :)

just a quick check on my system, emerge --search works perfectly fine for me as a regular user (just used it a couple times earlier today, so i know it works):

Code:
drwxr-sr-x 2 root         portage      4096 Jun  1 16:06 portage


I haven't used eix in over 8 years now, last time I used that I had to run an additional command just to update it's database after I ran emerge --sync. Things has most likely changed significantly since then.
