115 The only thing I see is maybe you want to disable that cdb module,
116 depending on which version of Portage you're using (the latest stable
117 doesn't like it so much). But I don't think that would explain this, and
118 honestly I can't think of any configuration or anything that you need to
119 do with eix to get any ouput.

121 Sorry.
