Hmm. I just commented an entry in package keywords and after that it
showed up the same way as reported it. If i run portage it wants to
downgrade that particular package.

This should fix it! It was my mistake. Eix is looking up its database
and does not find gentoo-sources-2.6.23-r3 because it has been removed
from the tree thus it gets reported.

Maybe you can enlighten me.

eix-test-obsolete checks first for non matching entries in a package
file e.g. if I have an entry with a typo or a removed package then it
will be reported.

But what is the difference between a "redundant entry" and an
"uninstalled entry". As far as I see the matching criteria of both
checks is a package which is not installed or in the database but in a
package.* file.

Btw: eix-test-obsolete can not check for obsolete use-flags at the moment?
