When I issue "equery depends --all-packages foo" it eats more and more memory. I have to kill it when memory usage exceed 700Mb. I've checked and found this behaviour in app-portage/gentoolkit-0.2.0 and app-portage/gentoolkit-0.2.1_pre4. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. equery depends --all-packages gtk+ 2. Wait. You may issue top on the other console. 3. For some time equery will read your hdd, then it stops reading. CPU usage grows to 100% and equery begins to eat more and more of your memory. Expected Results: I think equery shall return list of packages in portage that are dependencies for gtk+. I've asked on irc channel #gentoo-dev and at least 3 developers confirmed this bug. I've marked this bug as major because in gentoolkit-0.2.1 qpkg will be moved out of bin directory, so the only official way to check dependencies will be equery. May be this bug is related to bug 66429 .
