Please run the attached equery and reply back with the output

As requested, here is the output of the debug version of equery:

# ./my-equery.py -c which pmidi

[<gentoolkit.package.Package instance at 0xb7365aac>]

Thanks, the traceback is caused by the fact that an ebuild no longer exists for
the installed package. I will work on getting this fixed in the 0.2.3 release
of gentoolkit.

(In reply to comment #3)
Very good.  FWIW: if the code is literally looking for the ebuild file itself,
it still exists in /var/db/pkg/...

I was unable to get this included in gentoolkit-0.2.3. I will work on it for
gentoolkit-0.2.4
