Well I have used qpkg in the past, but completly forgot about it this
time. It doesn't look good. Seems as though emerge wnet through all of
the motions of compiling and installing bitchx but didn't for some
reason.

bash-2.05b# qpkg --list bitchx
net-irc/bitchx-1.0.19-r6 *

As you can see no files. Just for a test I did the same with xchat,
mozilla and both came back with a nice list of what was installed. I
guess this is a bug? I can file it on the gentoo bugzilla page, but
before I do... Is anyone else seeing this issue?
