/usr/X11R6 is obsolete, and is now a softlink to /usr. This confuses equery, as illustrated by the following attempt to discover which package delivers the transfig binary: [demokrit] ~/development/Asap>which transfig /usr/bin/transfig [demokrit] ~/development/Asap>equery belongs /usr/bin/transfig [ Searching for file(s) /usr/bin/transfig in *... ] [demokrit] ~/development/Asap> Note that nothing is found. If I list which files the package actually provides, I get the following: [demokrit] ~/development/Asap>equery files media-gfx/transfig [ Searching for packages matching media-gfx/transfig... ] media-gfx/transfig-3.2.4-r1 * Contents of media-gfx/transfig-3.2.4-r1: /usr /usr/X11R6 /usr/X11R6/bin /usr/X11R6/bin/fig2dev /usr/X11R6/bin/fig2ps2tex /usr/X11R6/bin/fig2ps2tex.sh /usr/X11R6/bin/pic2tpic /usr/X11R6/bin/transfig <=== Here it is! /usr/X11R6/lib /usr/X11R6/lib/fig2dev /usr/bin /usr/lib [ ..... ] Note that /usr/X11R6/bin/transfig appears here.
