Description Patrick McLean gentoo-dev 2019-02-27 18:47:17 UTC 
It would be useful to have a way of determining what packages contain binaries that link to a particular soname. Portage likely already has plumbing to do this for preserved-libs, so it should just be matter of hooking it up to equery.

Like the "depends" module, but based on soname.
Comment 2 Zac Medico gentoo-dev 2019-02-27 18:53:07 UTC 
This can use the PROVIDES/REQUIRES metadata that portage uses for soname dependencies (bug 282639).
