Subject: [gentoo-user] emerge all packages which depend on P : how to
Date: Thu, 20 Feb 2014 13:38:06 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1392899886.30278.0@numa-i.igpm.rwth-aachen.de> (raw)

Hi,

I have a very simple question. How to emerge (update) all packages  
which depend on some
given package P.

I've tried

emerge -uv1 `equery -q d P`

or  emerge -uv1 `qdepends -q -Q P`

but both commands (equery and qdepends) generate a list with the  
version attached like
   app-editors/kile-2.1.3
which emerge doesn't like (unless there is an '= in front of each name)

Is there an easy way to do so without resorting to shell/python  
scripting?

Many thanks for a hint,
Helmut
