1. I ran: eix-remote update
I only got one overlay, Gentoo experimental to update?
Everything else gave this messsage:
problems arised with cachefile _var_lib_layman_yoreek.eix
/tmp/eix-remote.CUE7uOdN/1/_var_lib_layman_yporti.eix was created with an incompatible eix-update:
It uses database format 101 (current is 28).
Please run ‘eix-update’ and try again.
It’s just one particular but they all say this.
What is the difference in database format and ‘why’ is it cropping up here if everything is up to date?
I can’t get the games overlay or enlightenment overlay at all? Is it in the profile set against these
overlays?
Cairo Dock is missing? Shouldn’t this be a standard application in Gentoo?
It’s been as far as I know a fairly stable project? Other Cairo applications come up under eix ‘search’.
Hope someone can explain the issues and how I can correct them or get the overlays I want. I prefer not to add them if they don’t have what I want and eix is supposed to be able to ‘see’ them and tell you which overlay has the application you seek.
I’m otherwise very happy with CLDX, but am somewhat disturbed by the inability to locate what I think are pretty basic applications and of course inability to see what’s in certain overlays before I decide if I
wish to add them. (Yes, there are other ways to find out what’s in them but the eix tool should work I think. So maybe I’m missing something.)
