Bug 390749 – app-portage/portage-utils: qdepends: parse searches as atoms when appropriate

• Product: Portage Development
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description aditsu 2011-11-16 19:21:37 UTC]

When I run "qdepends package", it shows the dependencies of all the packages *containing* the given package name. Sometimes, there can be a lot of matches, e.g. "qdepends ibus" has 13 results on my computer, because I have various ibus-related packages, as well as scribus and libusb. Adding the category - "qdepends app-i18n/ibus" - only reduces the results to 11.

So I would like to have an option that works like "eix -e", matching the package name exactly.

Reproducible: Always

The utility does not search exact full string and therefore provides unexpected matches.
