Hello all,

This must be an obscenely rudimentary question, but I can't find the answer:

How can I determine a) which ebuilds I have currently installed, and b)
which of them provided a given object/file/directory?

For example... /usr/sbin/sendmail exists on my system.  I want to know
which package provided that.  In particular, I want to install courier-
mta.  So I would like to first figure out who put sendmail there, and
unmerge that package if appropriate.

In essence, my questions are how to do the gentoo equivalents of 'rpm -
qa' and 'rpm -q --whatprovides somefile'.

thanks,

-ben
