Running "equery list dev-libs/libsigc++" gives an error stack, apparently due to the '+' characters in the package name. Quoting the package name doesn't help. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install gentoolkit-0.2.0 2. Run "equery list dev-libs/libsigc++" Actual Results: [ Searching for package 'libsigc++' in 'dev-libs' among: ] Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/equery", line 1551, in ? cmd.perform(local_opts) File "/usr/bin/equery", line 1177, in perform rx = re.compile(cat + "/" + name + "-" + ver + "(-" + rev + ")?")
