I don't understand why that's bad for you. What problem are you having that you need to know what package has a particular library or other file? It's often not hard to figure out from the name of the library which package it's in. Emerge handles all dependencies if the script is written correctly. RPM has an advantage over emerge in that regard, if you can call it an advantage. RPMs have all the files in them. Since emerge builds from source, we don't know what files will be included until it's already installed at which point we can enumerate. I don't really see the point of creating a lot more disk space overhead to house such a database even if that disk space is housed in the network somewhere. Ric -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
