[gentoo-user] /etc/portage/bin/post_sync - not found by `equery b`

[Stroller]

Hi there,

I have this /etc/portage/bin/post_sync file on a couple of systems,  
and strangely `equery b /etc/portage/bin/post_sync` doesn't tell me  
what package it belongs to. I might guess `eix`, but who knows?

Does anyone else experience this, please?
Can anyone tell me what package it belongs to, or what its purpose is?

It attracted my attention because /etc seems a funny place to keep a / 
bin.

Stroller.

It's part of portage, and it's called after a sync of the portage tree.

equery shows its suckiness once again :(

% qfile post_sync
app-portage/portage-utils (/etc/portage/bin/post_sync)

This means you also have qfile installed, so you could have found it
yourself :P

My qfile doesn’t find it, neither with nor without full path. And yes, I have 
that bin file.
suckiness[qfile]++; ;-)

I will try to get into the habit of using qfile.

Thanks for your help, Neil & Alex.

Is /etc/portage/postsync.d/q-reinitialize executable?

It should be.
