Hi Chuck,
You need to run
emerge metadata && eupdatedb
I do not entirely understand what's going on but the index for portage
is out of whack. I have the same problem whenever I esync my portage
(I have the portage tree on a separate partition and share it on
several vservers). After the esync runs on the vserver where I want it
to run the others need to run the command above.
Bye,
Hilco
