Ok, my setup here is a little convoluted, but it's essentially exactly what ROOT= is designed for, so I think this needs to be fixed. I have a Core 2 Duo with main AMD64 gentoo. I have an i686-uclibc chroot. Everything discussed here occurs when inside that chroot. I use the ROOT= option to make images for bootable linux CDs, without having the whole portage support subsystem inside the tree (I exclude /var/db when I build the ISOs). equery list works on the ROOT= install area, but equery files, equery belongs, etc don't work properly.

Scratch the entire second block of "Actual results", I had the wrong thing in my mouse buffer and didn't notice. The first block (list), and third and fourth blocks (files and belongs) are accurate.
Hi, I have got a similar problem with a nearly identical setup. I get the following results: (build) hive portage # ROOT=/mediamachine/devroot/ equery list [ Searching for all packages in all categories among: ] * installed packages [I--] [M~] sys-apps/baselayout-2.0.0_rc4-r1 (0) [I--] [ ] sys-apps/coreutils-6.9-r1 (0) [I--] [M~] sys-apps/makedev-3.23.1 (0) [I--] [ ] sys-apps/module-init-tools-3.2.2-r3 (0) [I--] [M~] sys-apps/sysvinit-2.86-r9 (0) [I--] [ ] sys-libs/ncurses-5.6-r1 (5) [I--] [ -] sys-libs/uclibc-0.9.28.3 (0) [I--] [ ] sys-libs/zlib-1.2.3-r1 (0) [I--] [ ] virtual/init-0 (0) looks fine (build) hive portage # ROOT=/mediamachine/devroot/ equery files zlib [ Searching for packages matching zlib... ] * Contents of sys-libs/zlib-1.2.3-r1: /mediamachine/devroot/lib /mediamachine/devroot/lib/libz.so -> libz.so.1.2.3 /mediamachine/devroot/lib/libz.so.1 -> libz.so.1.2.3 /mediamachine/devroot/lib/libz.so.1.2.3 /mediamachine/devroot/usr /mediamachine/devroot/usr/include /mediamachine/devroot/usr/include/zconf.h /mediamachine/devroot/usr/include/zlib.h /mediamachine/devroot/usr/lib /mediamachine/devroot/usr/lib/libz.a /mediamachine/devroot/usr/lib/libz.so looks fine...

(build) hive portage # ROOT=/mediamachine/devroot/ equery files sysvinit [ Searching for packages matching sysvinit... ] ?? It looks like, as if the content of every stable package can be listed by equery, while the testing (and hard masked) packages cannot be listed. Regards Marc
This needs additional testing with the gentoolkit 0.3.0 branch. Anyone who can confirm if this is still an issue, please do.
0.3.0.7-r1 should work much better http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/gentoolkit.git;a=commit;h=35cc856ee0ce03858a39210525b9893ca061f079
