Some new people think it knows where things come from even if it is not installed.  It can't do that so I posted that in case the person didn't know.

Well, I'm not very expert about gentoo... I though it would query some kind of database to ask what package contains a certain file....

Now I know it works differently...

It would be neat if it could do that tho.  Just have no idea how it could.  ;-)

I think querying an online database could be a nice solution.

Thanks!

Equery doesn't give any results because it is not installed.
   
If it weren't installed it wouldn't be able to announce what it was
searching for and where   :-)

 

Some new people think it knows where things come from even if it is not installed.  It can't do that so I posted that in case the person didn't know.  Then I posted a way to find out even if a package is not installed.  I didn't know about that website until someone pointed it out to me many ages ago.
