Hi Adrian,
Presently still using "qpkg --dups -v" to get all slotted packages on my
system. Note that "qpkg & etcat" is deprecated and a use of equery is
encouraged. All are in 'app-portage/gentoolkit' package. Check the einfo
messages at the end of the install and move qpkg&etc if you wish.
Just checked (very quickly) and didn't found a replacement option
(--dups) for equery. Somebody?
Almost forgot there is yet another tool: "app-portage/portage-utils"
written in C IIRC, it's very fast.
HTH. Rumen
