  The tetex tarball is 85 megs alone.  I've managed to emerge and update
everything else after last night's sync, so these aren't dependencies of
those packages.  With qpkg, I could find out what depends on this stuff.
Help!.

Try equery.  It works pretty good, once I figured out how to use it, a
little.  I'm new to this stuff too, sort of.

equery depends <package name>

Example, I like them too.

Now you know what needs tetex anyway.

Hope that helps.

Using emerge --tree does the job too.

When you run emerge add -v (--verbose) to the options. It will show you
what USE-flags are enabled for those particular packages. As to qpkg's
replacement, it's called equery.

  Silly me, I went and RTFM'd before doing anything.  TFM says, and I
quote...

  Guess it's time for a documentation bugzilla entry.  Unmerging gnuplot
and libkudzu got rid of the requests for additional stuff.  Thanks for
the help.

That's what mine said too.  Imagine that.  O_O  I'm just glad the command can't RTFM.  LOL

Glad it worked though.  I just tried it anyway.  I figured if anything
it would just puke on me.  Ewwwwww.

It is http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=74944 and is fixed in the
unstable version of gentoolkit.

Add --tree --verbose to find out what wants it and the USE flags in force.

You still can, gentoolkit still installs qpkg, but doesn't put it in your
path. You'll find it in

/usr/share/doc/gentoolkit-<version>/deprecated/qpkg

Hi, I'm not a signature virus. Why don't you just copy me into your
signature?

'Problem' is, if you also have portage-utils installed, that package
also includes a *different program* which is unfortunately also named
qpkg; so if you have both that and gentoolkit installed, and you want to
use the deprecated qpkg binary, you have to use the full path to it, or
symlink it into your PATH with a name distinct from the other binary.

Just a note.

[m3000][root][~] find / -name qpkg
/usr/lib/gentoolkit/bin/qpkg
/usr/share/doc/gentoolkit-0.2.0-r2/qpkg

  Looks like /usr/share/doc/gentoolkit-0.2.0-r2/qpkg is it.  Thanks.
equery actually works; it merely has an outdated manpage that says
"equery depends" hasn't been implemented yet.  Yes folks, proof positive
that you should never RTFM before using a program<g>.  Sorry, I just
couldn't resist.
