I would not have thought so because it's all done in cron jobs thrice per
week, giving me reports via email.

However, it is true that emerge sync and eix-update were in two separate
jobs scheduled an hour apart.  It is vaguely conceivable that they got out
of step somehow.  I've unified them, and hope things go better now.
