This is working: $ qfile /etc/rc.conf sys-apps/openrc (/etc/rc.conf) This is not working. I'd expect it to be silent only when -e switch is passed. I'm pretty sure this used to work in past. And pretty sure various updater scripts are now broken due to this. $ qfile rc.conf [ no output ]
Just to be sure.

Version 0.11 still works, so it's an regression in 0.20 $ qfile rc.conf sys-apps/openrc (/etc/rc.conf)
I have the same issue.
the --exact option has never modified this behavior. it is only used in conjunction with the --exclude option which in turn is only used with --orphans. the documentation in this area sucks. back to the point, i killed this behavior because it leads to wrong/confusing output: # no match -> correct $ qfile /etc/localtime # err, what ? $ cd /etc && qfile localtime sys-libs/timezone-data (/usr/share/zoneinfo/localtime) # shown as orphaned -> good $ qfile -o /etc/localtime /etc/localtime # not shown as orphaned even though nothing owns it -> bad $ cd /etc && qfile -o localtime i can see the usefulness for this though. maybe adding a regex option would solve it ? that way it'd be obvious that you aren't searching for a file in $PWD.

A regex option would certainly be a nice feature. But what I like about the old approach is its shortness. I particularly often use qfile in conjunction with binaries I execute, so simply prepending a qfile on the command line feels nice. "qfile $(type p bash)" is too much to read. Perhaps I should write my own "qexe" wrapper for this one… Using "qfile $PWD/localtime" feels acceptable to me, that's what I did in the past. The old approach felt natural enough to me, I can't rmember ever being confused, particularly since the found file name is stated.
I don't know of other tools than equery which does what qfile does in tree, and with this bug qfile became unusable for me, so would indeed be nice to have some switch to restore the old behavior (or regex functionality)
i've added a -b/--basename option to qfile now for the old behavior $ cd / $ qfile -b rc.conf sys-apps/openrc (/etc/rc.conf) http://sources.gentoo.org/gentoo-projects/portage-utils/qfile.c?r1=1.65&r2=1.66
thanks!
