Just ran it; it downloads |
| 21 |
http://gpo.zugaina.org/eix_cache/eix-cache.tbz2. It terminated with an |
| 22 |
error while writing the database file, something related to overlays not |
| 23 |
existing or something. The help page (run eix-remote with no command) |
| 24 |
tells me that `eix-remote update` downloads an eix cache of a bunch of |
| 25 |
gentoo overlays. Unless you're interested in searching for software in |
| 26 |
the overlays without having all the overlay portage trees on your |
| 27 |
machine, I would stick to running a plain `eix-sync`. |

You could always try removing /var/cache/eix/remote.eix and then run |
| 30 |
`eix-remote update2` - that one succeeds on my machine. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
FYI, `eix-sync` never calls any `eix-remote` commands; `eix-sync` runs |
| 33 |
these three commands in this order: `emerge --sync`, `eix-update`, |
| 34 |
`eix-diff`. If this command is failing, I would recommend deleting all |
| 35 |
the files in /var/cache/eix. |
