etcat isn't working like it should. First, when I use "etcat -f ant" I get this answer, which doesn't help at all: [ Results for search key : ant ] [ Candidate applications found : 2 ] Only printing found installed programs. It does work if I use ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86". The ant version I have is the newest masked one (it's necessary for me to use the latest right now). In my opinion, whether masked or not etcat -f should tell me what's up. The serious problem is this: gem ant # etcat -v ant [ Results for search key : ant ] [ Candidate applications found : 7 ] Only printing found installed programs.
