Run eix on an unslotted package and you don't get it, such as: [I] dev-libs/eet Available versions: (~)0.9.10.030 !0.9.10.030[1] (*)9999 !9999[1] Installed versions: 9999(15:14:01 12/08/06)(doc -nls) Homepage: http://www.enlightenment.org/pages/eet.html Description: E file chunk reading/writing library With a SLOTted package, it's useful to know which SLOT the package is in, I also see that your's shows them after a colon, but mine is within parenthesis: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ eix gentoo-sources [I] sys-kernel/gentoo-sources Available versions: (2.4.32-r7) 2.4.32-r7 (2.6.15-r1) 2.6.15-r1
[snip] That's interesting. Are you running a ~ version of eix, or is that a format you set up? My systems uses the colon as well. -- Ryan W Sims -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
