Description Johan Larsson 2004-02-21 04:28:25 UTC

# equery uses <package> only print out the corresponding USE flags and their description if the package is already installed. If the package is not installed equery doesn't return anything useful.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.# equery uses vim

Actual Results:  
bash-2.05b# equery uses vim
[ Colour Code : set unset ]
[ Legend    : (U) Col 1 - Current USE flags        ]
[           : (I) Col 2 - Installed With USE flags ]

Expected Results:  
Printed out vim USE flags, their description and informed me that the package is
not installed.
