If the user is a member of portage he can do any emerge operation as
long as the command includes "--pretend" or "-p"
[d531][waltdnes][~] emerge -pv ufraw
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild R ] media-gfx/ufraw-0.20-r1 USE="-contrast -fits -gimp
-gnome -gtk -openmp -timezone" 0 KiB
Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 KiB
However, the regular user is not allowed to actually emerge or unmerge
anything. E.g...
[d531][waltdnes][~] emerge -v ufraw
emerge: superuser access is required
The idea is to allow the user to find out what he would have to do if
he wanted to emerge/unmerge something.
