Because by default eix doesn't purge it's cache. You can do so manually by removing /var/cache/eix. I thought there was a configuration option in /etc/eixrc to change this behaviour too but I can't seem to find it again.. The "cache: eix*" means that it's aware they no longer exist outside the eix cache. In either case this is entirely unrelated to portage itself. -- Bo Andresen
