Description Prof. Jonathan King 2005-05-06 08:03:30 UTC

The `equery' man-page has
[code]
equery(1)                                                            equery(1)
...
belongs <local-opts> file
      This command lists all packages owning the specified file.
      Note:  Normally,  only  one package will own a file. If multiple
      packages own the same file, it usually consitutes a problem, and
      should be reported.
[/code]
I suggest that the man-page be modified to say where/how to
report the multiply-owned pkg.

By way of example:
[code]
%  equery belongs /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/engines/libpixmap.so
x11-libs/gtk+-2.6.4-r1
x11-themes/gtk-engines-2.2.0
[/code]


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.

3.
