In this particular example, version 4.4.3 is also available, but does
not show as available under eix, though it does show as available via an
emerge --search.
Version 4.4.3 was listed as an available update in the email that I get
after running esync and update-eix as a cron job.
Again, you see the last available version listed by eix is 4.4.1, but
emerge --search finds 4.4.3:
root -> emerge --search cedega

I expected to see all the versions of the package known to Portage as of
the time that I did the search. That *is* the point of eix, is it not :-) ?
As I said, the database has been updated multiple times, but eix is no
longer picking up the most recent updates to my Portage tree, making the
program unreliable for fast searches (since I cannot be sure that eix is
showing me all available versions of any given package).

Thanks for the confirmation; I was figuring that cdb might have had
something to do with it, being the only real possible culprit.
I'll try that, hopefully it will fix things.
