rpm has 2 nice functions which let you

- given a package, know what files will be / are installed

- given a file, know to which package it belongs

I miss them in portage.

You do not know which files are installed until after you build the package.
So you cannot have that list until you build it.

qpkg -f <--- Installed files and who owns them.

There are other bugs relating so more specific requests on this line.

Sorry, I did not know about qpkg. It looks just great. 
 
By the way, emerge -s qpkg does not report anything, which is not very  
helpful.
