Subject: [gentoo-user] eix showing me weird results

1 I have an amd64 machine with only a few ~amd64 packages. I use
2 'eix-sync && emerge -auDv --changed-use @world' daily. Yesterday,
3 dev-python/numpy-1.10.4 and dev-qt/qtchooser-0_p20151008 were
4 stabilized for amd64. After updating them, eix is giving me bad info
5 (see output below). There doesn't seem to be any problem with portage
6 or its data, just with eix. I've run 'emerge --metadata' and
7 'eix-update' in hopes my issue would magically vanish, but that's the
8 extent of what I know to try. I'm using eix-0.30.11 for many months
9 and haven't made any configuration changes to it. The only non-default
10 settings I have for eix are
11
12 REDUNDANT_IF_IN_MASK="false"
13 REDUNDANT_IF_MASK_NO_CHANGE="false"
14
15 'eix numpy' and 'eix qtchooser' tell me my newly installed versions are
16 still ~amd64, along with a [?] status. Here's partial output:
17
18 $ eix -e numpy
19 [?] dev-python/numpy
20 Available versions: ~1.8.2 1.9.2 ~1.9.3 ~1.10.1-r1 ~1.10.2-r2 ~1.10.4
21
22 $ eix qtchooser
23 [?] dev-qt/qtchooser
24 Available versions: 0_p20150102 ~0_p20151008
25
26 Also, eix-test-obsolete gives me:
27
28 Installed packages with a version not in the database (or masked):
29 [?] dev-python/numpy (1.10.4@01/25/2016 -> 1.9.2): Fast array and numerical python library
30 [?] dev-qt/qtchooser (0_p20151008@01/25/2016 -> 0_p20150102): Qt4/Qt5 version chooser
31 Found 2 matches.
