Thanks for the tip. I thought qpkg was gone but then I found it hidden along with etcat. Qpkg definitely is much faster but it doesn't seem to work for a virtual depend. Even with equery, I needed to specify virtual/mta rather than mail-mta/ssmtp in order to get results. It seems that our portage query tools need some work. :-( Zac -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
