Re: [gentoo-server] glsa-check and unused packages

["W.Kenworthy" <billk@iinet.net.au>]

Try etcat -v, query l and qpkg -l: each seems to work via a different
aspect of portage and I have found, particularly on older systems that
one or more, but not always all will show discrepancies.  I found equery
the least reliable when things are not right.  Surprisingly, glsa-check
seems to to always (that I can remember) pick up that the bad version
does exist and is installed - believe it!
