Running eix in any way that produces more than 50 package results, it shows this for me: Only 50 matches displayed on terminal Set EIX_LIMIT=0 to show all matches I can only assume that it detects that the output is a pipe and ignores this limit. Not going to investigate, as you found your answers :) Cheers, Arve

Soon after my last routine upgrade which installed "media-video/vlc" version 3.0.20-r2 and its new dependency "media-libs/ libmpg123" I inadvertently run another "emaint sync" which caused the "-r2" version of "vlc" not being available any longer and the now avai- lable version "-r3" with its renamed dependency not yet being installed. So another upgrade (currently running) will indeed resolve this. Many thanks :-) Sincerely, Rainer

Sincerely, Rainer Well the package in question is called media-sound/mpg123-base, so there's that. Also, not sure why you would want to grep the output of eix like that. eix -# 'app-portage/eix|media-sound/mpg123-base' will give you very similar output, but there are other output options that will give other output that might be more desirable for you. I do have to follow up on this, the package was renamed, you probably need to run an update with --changed-deps passed and it will get back into a good state. eix isn't finding the package because it doesn't exist anymore.

But running eix on its own by default only outputs 50 packages, so there's that. Regards, Arve

I'm no "eix guru", but reading the man page to show me what the '-i' flag does pretty much explain why it would exclude many packages. You probably want the capital '-I' version to list installed packages. Regards, Arve
