Oh, wait-- I was going to say that I didn't say that (I didn't really say anything, I thought), but in fact it turns out I did, in a roundabout way (and you helped me, Lares, by clarifying it so that I could solve my own eix problem). When you wrote your mail, I had eix working, but I had noticed earlier yesterday (before your mail and my reply) that all packages available were not being displayed-- most notably gentoo-sources packages, where I knew 2.6.14-r7 and 2.6.15 to be available, but they would not come up under an eix search, no matter what I did. I also noticed that update-eix was saying that it was using cdb, which I thought was weird because I thought I had disabled it. In fact, I had commented out the lines in /etc/portage/modules, but due to your mail, I realized that that only affected Portage, and that eix had its own setting to use cdb (in /etc/eixrc and ~/.eixrc). Once I deleted those, eix stopped using cdb to cache its entries, and the all current packages were shown. So I was right, in that the problem was cdb (I suppose that since I had a database before I started using cdb, it just wasn't getting further updated, but since you didn't have a database at all, it just wasn't getting populated), but you were the one who actually figured out how to disable it.
