Description Sven 2014-11-14 19:59:58 UTC

Regularly, I have to do the following:
$ equery -NC l "*"|grep "??"

This lists some packages that I have install but for which there is no ebuild anymore. This occurs, since I have keyworded some specific package versions.

Portage itself doesn't seem to care and an "emerge -uDN world" goes though without any note about those packages that the above command lists.

It would be nice to add an option to "equery l" such that it lists exactly those packages that the above command would list.


Furthermore, it would good to have "equery l" commands that list unstable and masked packages only.

Reproducible: Always
