Subject: [gentoo-user] emerge --search can't find local ebuild?

1 I can't figure out why "emerge --search" can't find a local
2 ebuild, but "emerge -av" can:
3
4 # emerge --search sys-apps/ack
5 Searching...
6 [ Results for search key : sys-apps/ack ]
7 [ Applications found : 0 ]
8
9 # emerge -av sys-apps/ack
10
11 These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
12
13 Calculating dependencies... done!
14 [ebuild N ] dev-perl/File-Next-1.02 0 kB
15 [ebuild N ] sys-apps/ack-1.82 0 kB [1]
16
17 Total: 2 packages (2 new), Size of downloads: 0 kB
18 Portage tree and overlays:
19 [0] /usr/portage
20 [1] /usr/local/portage
21
22 Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No] No
23
24 Quitting.
25
26 Even after the package has been installed via "emerge -av" it
27 still can't be found by "emerge --search" even though "equery
28 list" finds it just fine:
29
30 # equery list sys-apps/ack
31 [ Searching for package 'ack' in 'sys-apps' among: ]
32 * installed packages
33 [I--] [ ~] sys-apps/ack-1.82 (0)
34
35 It's not a big deal, but it's more than a bit counter-intuitive.
