no package from alternate repositories

[yagaev]

I added with eselect alternate repositories:

Code: Select all

# eselect repository list -i
Available repositories:
  [268] palemoon *
  [361] steam-overlay #

I see packages with emerge -s steam. But I have no packages with emerge -s palemoon.
Do I need to use layman? Why eselect doesn't work?

You have synched? If yes with emerge --search --search-index n palemoon command work?

Yes.
It works! Thank you. What's the trick?

Code: Select all

       --search-index < y | n >
              Enable  or  disable  indexed  search  for search actions. This option is enabled by default. The search index needs to be regenerated by
              egencache(1) after changes are  made  to  a  repository  (see  the  --update-pkg-desc-index  action).  This  setting  can  be  added  to
              EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS (see make.conf(5)) and later overridden via the command line.

probably you need to use egencache

no change with

Code: Select all

# egencache --jobs=3 --update --repo gentoo
# egencache --jobs=3 --update --repo palemoon

UPD: solved

Code: Select all

chown -R portage:portage /var/cache/eix/
