Description Ulenrich 2013-05-01 23:12:23 UTC

Sometimes I use 
emerge -1 $(equery -q -C d alsa-lib)

which outputs:
!!! 'app-accessibility/flite-1.4-r2' is not a valid package atom.
!!! Please check ebuild(5) for full details.

I better use:
emerge -1 $(equery -q -C d alsa-lib|sed -e's/^/=/')

Every ca third month I want to use this command, I do read the

man equery
to find any output option of "equery depends"
with no luck at all :(

It prints the atoms fine, just not the version operators. Do (something like) this instead:

emerge -1 $(equery -q -C d alsa-lib | awk '{print "=" $1;}' )

Some equery commands have the custom format option.  Unfortunately for you equery depends does not yet.  Look for the -F, --format= option.

However it is planned to extend the custom format option to all equery modules for the next release.
