[gentoo-user] Strange equery behavior when piping output

[Nikos Chantziaras]

I don't know when this started. I don't remember it behaving this way, 
in any event. When piping the output of "equery uses", all descriptions 
disappear. Example:

  $ equery uses app-misc/mc
  [ Legend : U - final flag setting for installation]
  [        : I - package is installed with flag     ]
  [ Colors : set, unset                             ]
   * Found these USE flags for app-misc/mc-4.8.13-r1:
   U I
   + + X     : Add support for X11
   + + edit  : Compile and install the mcedit application
   + + gpm   : Add support for sys-libs/gpm (Console-based mouse driver)
   [...]


But when piping:


  $ equery uses app-misc/mc | more
  +X
  +edit
  +gpm
  [...]


Case in point:

  $ equery uses app-misc/mc | grep gpm
  +gpm


What I want (and I think was getting in the past):


  $ equery uses app-misc/mc | grep gpm
  + + gpm   : Add support for sys-libs/gpm (Console-based mouse driver)


What happened? And how do I get the correct behavior back?
