Morning all,
On one box here I get this output from eix-test-obsolete:

This was immediately after emerge --sync and eix-update. I'm trying
to think
of a way to fix it; any ideas?

What does "eix most' show?
It looks like portage thinks your current install of most was done from
your local repository, Either that's true, and you just deleted it
from /usr/local/portage, or else portage is confused about where it
last installed from. In either case, just "emerge -1 most" and it
should (re)install it from the main tree.
If you never had that package in your local repo, perhaps the more
important question is why did portage think you did?
