OHO--- here's something that I at least missed the first time I emerged eix:
* Please run 'update-eix' to setup the portage search database.
* The database file will be located at /var/cache/eix
==> * If you want to use the cdb-support, you need to add
==> * PORTDIR_CACHE_METHOD="cdb"
==> * to you /etc/eixrc or ~/.eixrc
* To enable command-line completion for eix, run:
*
* eselect bashcomp enable eix
>>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache... app-portage/eix-0.3.0-r1 merged.
>>>
Did that-- both /etc/eixrc and ~/.eixrc were empty-- and lo and behold:
1) update-eix was incredibly fast, and
2) gave the following output:
update-eix
Reading Portage settings ..

Applying masks ..
whereas previously, it said:

Database contains 10251 packages in 149 categories.
So thanks for the suggestion to re-emerge eix, as I wouldn't have seen
that einfo otherwise (I did see the second part, but apparently when I
originally emerged eix I wasn't using cdb, so I ignored the message
relating to it.
Looks solved to me-- at least enough that I'm not going to comment on
your bug, which I was in the middle of when you sent this mail. But now
I don't have to look silly ;-) , since the cdb support is apparently
working fine, as long as one uses it. D'oh (on both of us).
