qpkg can give info on several things. From the man page:
qpkg [options] [pkgname] [-g group]
[-f <file>|-fp <pattern>]
qpkg --dups [--slot]
-d, --dups print packages that have multiple versions installed
-s, --slot make -d SLOT only print dups of the same SLOT
-I, --installed Include only installed packages
-g, --group Find by group (can be combined with other searches)
-l, --list List package content
-i, --info Get package description and home page.
-q, --query-deps display all installed packages
depending on selected packages
EXAMPLES
qpkg print list of packages
qpkg --dups -v.. with versions
qpkg -f /bin/ls print package(s) that own /bin/ls
There is however another package for cleaning out things: dep-clean
>From it's man page:
dep-clean - Shows unrequired packages and missing dependencies.
-N, --needed Display needed packages that are not installed. (red)
(default)
-U, --unneeded Display unneeded packages that are installed. (green)
(default)
-I, --interactive Interactively modify world file before proceeding.
To clean my system I typically use "emerge -p depclean" then "qpkg -q
<package name" and finally "dep-clean -UV" To basically check
drive/partition space I simply use kdf tho it doesn't tell me exactly
what is using up the space.
