You are wrong here. Example: $ equery uses Display USE flags for a given package Syntax: uses <local-opts> pkgspec <local-opts> is either of: -a, --all - include non-installed packages $ equery uses a2ps [ Searching for packages matching a2ps... ] [ Colour Code : set unset ] [ Legend : Left column (U) - USE flags from make.conf ] [ : Right column (I) - USE flags packages was installed with ] !!! No installed packages found for a2ps $ equery uses -a a2ps [ Searching for packages matching a2ps... ] [ Colour Code : set unset ] [ Legend : Left column (U) - USE flags from make.conf ] [ : Right column (I) - USE flags packages was installed with ] [ Found these USE variables for app-text/a2ps-4.13c-r2 ] U I + + nls : <unknown> + + tetex : Adds support for teTeX - - cjk : Adds support for Multi-byte character languages (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) - - vanilla : Do not add extra patches which change default behaviour Cheers, Renat
