I noticed that portage in some cases fails to record files belonging to a package this is openrc merge-usr profile and sys-apps/util-linux-2.39.3-r3 mih ~ # ls -la /sbin/agetty -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 60696 Mar 11 09:15 /sbin/agetty mih ~ # ls -la /usr/bin/agetty -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 60696 Mar 11 09:15 /usr/bin/agetty mih ~ # equery b /sbin/agetty * Searching for /sbin/agetty ... sys-apps/util-linux-2.39.3-r3 (/sbin/agetty) mih ~ # equery b /usr/bin/agetty * Searching for /usr/bin/agetty ... util-linux installs same agetty under /sbin/ and /usr/bin/ and the one under /usr/bin/ is not recorded as part of a package. Not sure if this is portage issue or maybe util-linux.

As you are using a merge-usr profile, /sbin is just a symlink to usr/bin. util-linux just installs agetty to /sbin to make sure its in the root filesystem and to be compatible with split-usr as well it should stay like that. But because your /sbin is just a symlink your agetty binary will end up in /usr/bin portage will just record the original path because the sandbox where it is installed does not know anything about split-usr/merge-usr, it just creates its directories and installs files into them. portage just records the original path which is sufficient for proper installation and deinstallation and its transparent regarding split-usr/merge-usr In bug #926219 we have some difficulties with that, but I dont think portage is no really to blame here
Oh yes, thats true that is only symlink but i think in case of merge-usr and symlinks portage should "know" this and return an answer... or maybe this is more like app-portage/portage-utils (qfile) & app-portage/gentoolkit (equery) issue... because i guess they are the ones parsing CONTENTS files...
