I don't know, except for the fact that there's no packages in the eix database. But I don't see why that should be happening. This is the output you *should* be getting: eix kde * app-i18n/uim-kdehelper Available versions: ~0.1.0-r1 Installed: none Homepage: http://uim.freedesktop.org/Software/uim-kdehelper Description: Qt replacement of toolbar, system tray, applet and candidate window for UIM library. * app-pda/synce-kde Available versions: ~0.6.1 ~0.7.2 ~0.8.0 Installed: none Homepage: http://synce.sourceforge.net Description: Synchronize Windows CE devices with computers running GNU/Linux, like MS ActiveSync. - KDE System Tray utility (formerly app-pda/rapip) * dev-embedded/pikdev Available versions: 0.6.6a 0.7.1 0.7.1-r1 ~0.7.1-r2 Installed: none Homepage: http://pikdev.free.fr/ Description: Graphical IDE for PIC-based application development * dev-python/pykde Available versions: ~3.11.1 3.11.3 ~3.12_pre20051013 Installed: none Homepage: http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/pykde/ Description: set of Python bindings for the KDE libs * dev-util/kdevelop Available versions: 3.1.2 3.2.1-r1 ~3.2.2 ~3.2.3 ~3.2.3-r1 ~3.3.0 Installed: none Homepage: http://www.kdevelop.org Description: Integrated Development Enviroment for Unix, supporting KDE/Qt, C/C++ and a many other languages. * dev-util/kdesvn Available versions: ~0.6.2 ~0.7.1 Installed: none Homepage: http://www.alwins-world.de/programs/kdesvn/ Description: KDESvn is a frontend to the subversion vcs. * games-board/ggz-kde-client Available versions: ~0.0.9 Installed: none Homepage: http://ggz.sourceforge.net/ Description: The kde client for GGZ Gaming Zone * games-board/ggz-kde-games Available versions: ~0.0.9 Installed: none Homepage: http://ggz.sourceforge.net/ Description: These are the kde versions of the games made by GGZ Gaming Zone * kde-base/kdeprint Available versions: 3.4.1 3.4.2 3.4.3 3.5.0 Installed: none Homepage: http://www.kde.org/ Description: KDE printer queue/device manager * kde-base/kdegraphics Available versions: 3.3.2-r3 3.4.1-r1 ~3.4.1-r3 ~3.4.2-r2 ~3.4.3 3.4.3-r2 3.4.3-r3 ~3.5.0 ~3.5.0-r2 ~3.5.0-r3 ~3.5.0-r4 Installed: none Homepage: http://www.kde.org/ Description: KDE graphics-related apps * kde-base/kdepim-meta Available versions: 3.4.1 ~3.4.2 3.4.3 ~3.5.0 Installed: none Homepage: http://www.kde.org/ Description: kdepim - merge this to pull in all kdepim-derived packages * kde-base/kdesu Available versions: 3.4.1 3.5.0 Installed: 3.4.1 3.5.0 Homepage: http://www.kde.org/ Description: KDE: gui for su(1) <snip> [1] /usr/local/portage Found 96 matches The only thing I see is maybe you want to disable that cdb module, depending on which version of Portage you're using (the latest stable doesn't like it so much). But I don't think that would explain this, and honestly I can't think of any configuration or anything that you need to do with eix to get any ouput. Sorry.
