Bug 224517 – app-portage/portage-utils: qdepends: show app version with a "=" before name allowing output to be used directly by emerge

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

Hello

Some months ago I got into troubles with gstreamer and totem, it failled when trying to play a CD Audio. I finally solved it re-emerging all totem depends.

Maybe would be easier use:
# emerge -1av `qdepends totem -q -C`

But it outputs:
media-video/totem-2.20.3: >=dev-libs/glib-2.13.4...

Then, emerge fails because cannot handle "media-video/totem-2.20.3" as it should be "=media-video/totem-2.20.3" or "media-video/totem"

Thanks a lot

Reproducible: Always

emerge -1av $(qdepends totem -q -C | sed -e 's|^.*: ||g')

Thanks Jer,

Yes this is exactly how it was intended to be used. pipe from one program into the next. tweak it for the needs of the task at hand.
