Summary:	'equery belongs' looks for file only among installed packages

Description Mykhaylo Khodorev 2010-10-30 21:32:19 UTC

Often it's needed to use some known (or not much) program. For that the package, which contains this program should be installed. But usually it's not clear, what is the proper package name. It would be nice if 'equery belongs' search across whole portage and not just installed packages. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run equery belongs <file name belonging to not installed package>

Actual Results:  
Shows nothing:
phoenix ralfeus # equery belongs iwconfig
[ Searching for file(s) iwconfig in *... ]
phoenix ralfeus #


Expected Results:  
net-wireless/wireless-tools

I think app-portage/pfl is what you're looking for.
