Description Gioele Barabucci 2006-10-08 00:45:43 UTC
equery 'depends' does not handle >= well.

For example it thinks that portage depends on python-2.3 (that is installed on my box as well as python-2.4) because it sees that portage DEPENDs on '>=python-2.3'.

Also, '<' and '>=' seems to be unrecognized.
