The old update-eix-remote would index all available overlays which |
| 25 |
made it real handy for finding which overlay you needed. The new eix- |
| 26 |
remote seems to only index the overlays you have installed. Am I |
| 27 |
missing something? |

Also I keep getting this error message, even after explicitly running |
| 30 |
eix-update: |
