eix says database contains 0 packages

[dextermagnific]

Hi all,

I updated eix program today to version 0.26.3 and since when running eix-update it says that it finds 0 packages :

Code: Select all

eix-update
Reading Portage settings ..
Building database (/var/cache/eix/portage.eix) ..
[0] "gentoo" /usr/portage/ (cache: metadata-md5-or-flat)
     Reading category 156|156 (100%) Finished             
[1] "" /var/lib/layman (cache: parse|ebuild*#metadata-md5#metadata-flat#assign)
     Reading category 156|156 (100%) EMPTY!
Applying masks ..
Calculating hash tables ..
Writing database file /var/cache/eix/portage.eix ..
Database contains 0 packages in 156 categories.

Previous version was eix-0.25.5 and worked well.

Could you provide some help with this ?

Thanks

Working fine here, try deleting the db and start out fresh.

This is a bug in eix and occurs after running the db update.

This is also a dupe of this post. Please continue this there. There is also a link to the bug submitted.
