I thought my question was very precise: Is updating eix to an UNSTABLE version ok to do while leaving portage at the STABLE version?

Unless the above messages suggest another cause or you specified a wrong filename, the most likely cause of this is that the server uses another eix version than you or produced broken data. Please inspect /tmp/eix-remote.zv5peao3/eix-caches.tbz2 whether this is a valid *.tar.bz2 archive containing eix cachefiles (if it has already been deleted, download it using fetch). If this is not the case (but was freshly downloaded), please report a bug. Note that the archive is *not* broken if only the cachefile format versions differ: In that case only report a bug if the eix cachefile format versions in the downloaded file are *older* than that of the most current ~x86 eix version in the portage tree (but first retry after several days before reporting such a bug to give the server maintainers a chance to upgrade after a version bump of eix). Conversely, if the downloaded versions are even newer than that supported by your eix, you will have to upgrade to the most current ~x86 version of eix to use eix-remote: This inconvenience cannot be avoided and is not a bug! problems arised with cachefile _var_lib_layman_zugaina.eix * Calling eix-update... * could not read all eix cachefiles of /tmp/eix-remote.dhR5mKNK/eix-caches.tbz2 Maybe this error speaks about differing versions?
