Not so based on my understanding (i.e. the man page). As far as I can
tell 'equery d' ought to only look at the installed packages unless
the '--all-packages' flag is passed. Not unlike other operations
(e.g. 'equery list') which also look by default only at installed
packages.
Well, I can't argue with that. I haven't recently compared the two, as
I gave up using equery d long ago. Either I was wrong and misread some
output then, or something changed. I'll have to try both again next
time I need that information.
