See color-marked as installed package gnome-base/gvfs.

# vim /etc/portage/package.keywords
add ~arch keyword for gnome-base/gvfs

Without any other action (i.e. updating system according described unmask).
Now equery utility displays info about _not_ installed version of gnome-base/gvfs.
But I see the package name with the same color mark of installed package.
Although equery displays info about _not_ installed version.

Also I'll find very pretty, if equery will display package.keywords override of system's (make.conf) KEYWORD, if present.

For my case in second query it should look something like:

 * Found these USE flags for ~amd64 gnome-base/gvfs-1.14.2:

With color selection of override KEYWORD value and without color mark of installed package.

Comment 1 Sergey S. Starikoff 2013-06-10 07:25:09 UTC
This report is mostly not enchancement request.
Oryginally, it was an issue:

equery utility don't display listed in ebuild USE.

Further analyse showed, that issued USE is masked:

/usr/portage/gentoo/profiles/base/package.use.mask:
# older gvfs releases have problems with recent stable udisks:2 (bug #463792)
<gnome-base/gvfs-1.14 udisks

So, in results of query for gnome-base/gvfs-1.12.3-r1, I expect to see NOT miss of USE, but something like:
...
+ + (udisks)        : Enable volume monitoring using sys-fs/udisks

Meaning: turned on both by profile and user, but masked.


Using the same color mark for installed and not installed version of a package also looks like an issue.
