I just shifted my Portage tree on my Raspberry PI into squashfs/aufs using
the guide here to save space:

http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Squashed_Portage_Tree

It seems to work pretty well except the any overlay repositories I have
defined generate EAPI issues such as this:

cave resolve installed-packages

The packages in the overlay repository become unavailable as they get
flagged with an Unknown EAPI. It kind of looks like the eutils eclass
cannot be found for some reason. I checked and it is sitting in
/usr/portage/eclass.

I would appreciate any assistance that someone could offer.

Thank you,
