is there a command that lists all injected packages?

I don't know if you can (I suspect no).

But when *I* come across a bad ebuild, I simply mask it: Add it
to /etc/portage/package.mask

Works a charm, and much easier to manage.

does nt work for me I unmerged the inject, added them to a non existent file called /etc/portage/package.mask and re did the emerge world zero nada :(


I think what you're talking about is the file you need to create called /etc/portage/profile/package.provided

This serves the same pupose as --inject. For example, I added these (among others) to my package.provided file ( I compiled alsa into the kernel, and I don't want emerge to get the others).

media-sound/alsa-driver-1.0.8
kde-base/kdegames-3.4.0
kde-base/kdeedu-3.4.0
kde-base/kdetoys-3.4.0

you could also do:


=kde-base/kdegames-3.4.0


to never worry about that package on an emerge -u kde later on.
