Thanks for the user tip.
I forgot that I "hardened" the server by default umasking all accounts to 007 (something I don't do on the desktop), so eix couldn't read the /etc/portage/ files as a regular user, because I wrote them as root. So if I eix as root or using sudo (which I don't do), I get the parens, but if I don't, eix can't read the keyword files, so no parens. Interesting. So this one's solved now. -- This email is: [ ] actionable [x] fyi [ ] social Response needed: [ ] yes [ ] up to you [ ] no Time-sensitive: [ ] immediate [ ] soon [ ] none
