Not maintained? I thought it was the tool of choice for what it does. I

I actually just started having a problem with it the other day, using the

unless the user happens to be root:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ equery list -i nvidia-drivers

!!! The query 'nvidia-drivers' does not appear to be a valid regular
expression
