14 Thanks for the user tip.

16 I forgot that I "hardened" the server by default umasking all accounts
17 to 007 (something I don't do on the desktop), so eix couldn't read the
18 /etc/portage/ files as a regular user, because I wrote them as root.
19 So if I eix as root or using sudo (which I don't do), I get the
20 parens, but if I don't, eix can't read the keyword files, so no
21 parens. Interesting.

23 So this one's solved now.
