Hi,
I ran eix-test-obsolete and cleaned up a lot of the things in the
output. This one part, stumps me. Just what exactly is it trying to
tell me? Is this not in portage, not in the world file or what?
Output below. Thanks

The database is what is produced by update-eix, i.e. usually
the portage tree and your overlays (and perhaps virtual overlays).

Hmm. I just commented an entry in package keywords and after that it
showed up the same way as reported it. If i run portage it wants to
downgrade that particular package.
I can not find
gentoo-sources-2.6.23-r3 in any file in /etc/portage/package.* so

If it did check USE flags, I'd have a lng list there too. This is a

I wonder when there will be one single tool which is capable to take
care of a configuration and cleaning /etc/portage/ or is there already
one i miss?

I wouldn't mind having one that cleans out /etc as a whole. I'm sure
there are some

This is all doable until now but I have about six different tools which

Having separate tools has the advantage that it is possible to improve
