4 Which method do you use for syncing (rsync, git, ...)?

8 The requirement to run emerge --metadata seems to suggest that
9 you use git? If this is true, better use egencache to generate
10 the metadata in the repositories' directories instead of
11 /var/cache/edb/dep/
12
13 Afterwards (or if you use rsync anyway),
14 remove possibly obsolete /var/cache/edb/dep/*
15 and do *not* call emerge --metadata manually.
16
17 What is the output of eix-update?
18
19 Also check whether perhaps the information of eix is
20 correct. E.g. for
21
22 > $ eix qtchooser
23 > [?] dev-qt/qtchooser
24 > Available versions: 0_p20150102 ~0_p20151008
25
26 check whether in ${PORTDIR}/metadata/md5-cache/dev-qt
27 the file qtchooser-0_p20151008 perhaps contains a line with
28 KEYWORDS= ... ~amd64 ...
