Because by default eix doesn't purge it's cache. You can do so manually by |
| 23 |
removing /var/cache/eix. I thought there was a configuration option |
| 24 |
in /etc/eixrc to change this behaviour too but I can't seem to find it |
| 25 |
again.. The "cache: eix*" means that it's aware they no longer exist outside |
| 26 |
the eix cache. In either case this is entirely unrelated to portage itself. |
