Be careful, however, about virtual packages.
For example, equery depenxs xorg-x11 will give you nothing - but you can
not safely unmerge it, as it's the only package for the virtual package
"x11", and there actually are a lot of packages depending on x11.
I do not know how to correctly deal with this situation.

equery depends {blocking_package}
This will give you a list of all the packages that require the blocker.
equery is in app-portage/gentoolkit

is there a way to tell what packages are required by what? for
instance i have a package that is blocking another package when i do
an emerge, is there a way to tell if the package that is blocking the
other is actually needed by any other package on the system before i
unmerge it?
thanks
