The same kind of issue has happened again -- so I'm resurrecting the
thread. I'm more interesting in finding out what causes it so I can
prevent it for the future than in fixing this one instance of it. (But
finding out how to fix it would make it much less annoying if it does
happen again.)
After my latest eix-sync (using rsync), portage and eix see the status
of dev-perl/Pango differently, with portage saying 1.224.0-r1 is stable
and eix saying it's not. I'm running amd64.
$ emerge -p dev-perl/Pango
[snip]
[ebuild R ] dev-perl/Pango-1.224.0-r1
$ eix -e Pango
[?] dev-perl/Pango
Available versions: 1.224.0 ~1.224.0-r1
I've already emerged Pango-1.224.0-r1. Here's where the underlying
discrepancy seems to be:
$ grep
KEYWORDS /usr/portage/metadata/md5-cache/dev-perl/Pango-1.224.0-r1
KEYWORDS=~alpha ~amd64 ~arm ~hppa ~ia64 ~mips ~ppc ~ppc64 ~sparc ~x86
~amd64-linux ~x86-linux
$ grep KEYWORDS /usr/portage/dev-perl/Pango/Pango-1.224.0-r1.ebuild
KEYWORDS="alpha amd64 ~arm hppa ia64 ~mips ppc ppc64 sparc x86
~amd64-linux ~x86-linux"
I removed /var/cache/edb/dep/* and ran eix-update:
