Portage 2.2.0_alpha81 has broken portageq somehow. This used to work in older versions, as I gave likewhoa a script using it to generate the full SRC_URI listing for the DVD releases. $ portageq metadata / installed app-admin/apg-2.3.0b-r5 HOMEPAGE

The issue is that SRC_URI entries are no longer created in /var/db/pkg. It's still available in the environment.bz2 files though. We could extend the portageq metadata command to automatically query variables from the environment.bz2 files.
(In reply to comment #1) > We could extend the portageq metadata command to automatically query variables > from the environment.bz2 files. If we do that, then you'll also be be able to query the ${A} variable, which contains precisely the information that you want.

This is fixed in git: http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/portage.git;a=commit;h=9ec7e9fd222849e1fbe6311bb6973867957a9d81
This is fixed in 2.1.10.42 and 2.2.0_alpha82.
