I've tryed to see the description of use flags of www-plugins/adobe-flash to decide want I to install it or not. It means that I've don't read the license "agreement" yet. And got very strange error report. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. "AdobeFlash-10.1" (now) license not accepted. 2. $ equery u www-plugins/adobe-flash Actual Results: [ Searching for packages matching www-plugins/adobe-flash... ] !!!

This is fixed in gentoolkit-0.3.0_rc11-r3. I have it it installed in my system, equery worked, I changed my ACCEPT_LICENSE parameter, it still worked, emerge as expected complained about the license. The -0.2 series of gentoolkit equery more specifically was coded before the ACCEPT_LICENSE parameter was part of portage. As -0.3.0 final is very near release, It is not worth fixing in the 0.2 series. I recommend upgrading to -0.3.0_rc11-r3
This will not be fixed in the gentoolkit-0.2 series. Additionally, the easiest workaround so you don't have to edit any files is: env ACCEPT_LICENSE='*' equery u <pkg>
