That's if I > understand correctly. If you don't have it, emerge gentoolkit. Just be aware that equery depends is somewhat broken It lists dependencies in the tree, not dependencies a specific machine is using. Plus it doesn't find some valid deps either. It's still useful, but the user also has to use eix to determine which deps are valid for them and which are not. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
