I originally used qpkg, but you're right that equery doesn't need --duplicates. > 2) Why the awk? Is there ever more than one column without --no-pipe ? I don't think so, but it doesn't hurt to leave it in. I used awk because the terminal output adds extra fields and I possibly didn't even bother to check whether they were still there when using a pipe. -- Neil Bothwick Q: Why is top-posting evil?
