<big snip where the OP shows that <=mysql-4.0.26 returns nothing while "greater-than-or-equal-to" returns 5.0.15 only> That is the intended behaviour. 'equery uses' only greps the use flags for installed packages. If you want non-installed packages, you need to use the '-a' flag i.e. [02:00 PM]wwong ~ $ equery uses '>=mysql-4.0.26' [ Searching for packages matching >=mysql-4.0.26... ] [ Colour Code : set unset ] [ Legend : Left column (U) - USE flags from make.conf ] [ : Right column (I) - USE flags packages was installed with ] [ Found these USE variables for dev-db/mysql-4.1.14 ] U I - - big-tables : Make tables contain up to 1.844E+19 rows - - berkdb : Adds support for sys-libs/db (Berkeley DB for MySQL) - - debug : Tells configure and the makefiles to build for debugging.
