In code listing 4.2 it says (List all the installed KDE packages) # equery list kde-base/ (List all the installed KDE packages and select the ones from KDE 3.4) # equery list kde-base/ | grep 3\.4 However for the recent version equery it gives out * Searching for in kde-base ... !!! Invalid Atom: 'kde-base/' I guess it is a typo, or maybe used for an older version equery which I did not use.. Sorry if I made any mistake, Reproducible: Always
Code listing 4.2 is correct for the stable version of equery in gentoolkit-0.2.4.5. In the unstable 0.3.0 branch of gentoolkit, equery now uses shell-like globbing. So you'll want to use: $ equery list kde-base/* equery list --help should explain the change, and a new man page will be released in rc8 soon.

Thanks for the report, and thanks to Douglas for a prompt answer :) Closing bug since it turned out to be an intentional syntax change rather than a bug.
