equery(0.1.4) d[epends] does not seem to differentiate between DEPEND and RDEPEND.

I expected equery to be a helpful tool in hunting down the blocking packages. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge xvid (yasm gets installed) 2. equery d yasm Actual Results: [ Searching for packages depending on yasm... ] media-libs/xvid-1.1.3 (amd64? >=dev-lang/yasm-0.5.0) (x86? >=dev-lang/yasm-0.5.0) Expected Results: Nothing. Alternatively, maybe something like: [ Searching for packages depending on yasm... ] media-libs/xvid-1.1.3[RDEPEND] (amd64? >=dev-lang/yasm-0.5.0) (x86? >=dev-lang/yasm-0.5.0)
Err.. the [RDEPEND] is illogical. But you get the point. Maybe [!RDEPEND], I don't know if there's a better term used by the portage developers already.
I think the additional ability would be a useful extension, but I am at a loss as to why you didn't get the info from portage directly? eg: [blocks B ] <sys-fs/device-mapper-1.02.19-r1 (is blocking sys-fs/udev-114) or: [blocks B ] <kde-base/kdesktop-3.5.6-r1 (is blocking kde-base/kdebase-kioslaves-3.5.7-r1) [blocks B ] <=kde-base/kmail-3.5.6-r1 (is blocking kde-base/libkdepim-3.5.7-r1)
Yes, the output of portage tells me which package blocks which, but note that neither x264-svn nor yasm were installed before this: TuxOnStage:~ -> emerge -buvka --tree avidemux transcode mplayer xine-ui These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order: Calculating dependencies... done!

But that would be another bug report (and open to a loooong discussion). This bug report is about the missing information on the solution: yasm is not in RDEPEND, but only in DEPEND, but neither emerge nor equery tell me about it.
Probably should be changed to WORKSFORME since this works for me. Previous comments seem to indicate the same.

My comment was supposed to be posted to a gltron bug... Not this one. Maybe a bugzilla bug? (In reply to comment #4)
