Description Chris Gottbrath 2004-08-27 09:36:00 UTC 
I just filed a bug on qpkg and was told that qpkg is depreciated. 

If equery is what I should be using then it would be nice if it had a man page. 

The unfinished man page makes me think that the tool is unfinished and is part of the reason that I still use qpkg (which at least has documentation). 

Yes, I know i can do equery -h and I know I can read the code. 

Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Chris Rebert 2004-09-01 21:12:13 UTC 
this sounds like a dupe of bug 40830, and it already has a manpage
Comment 2 Marius Mauch (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-10-10 15:57:39 UTC 
should be fixed in gentoolkit-0.2.0_pre10
