Hi. I am new to gentoo -- I have used Debian and rpm type
distributions, but I have a fewquestions about emerge.
1) Any way to get a package list as one line per package like
debian's dpkg -l or rpm's rpm -qa ? The --info gives info about
the system, but does not seem to give a list of packages.
2) How do I ensure that all dependencies of a package are updated --
does --update --deep do this and would --update --deep world or
system do this?
3) Where are the packages listed for system? For instance I
installed coldplug and it installed pciutils, but that package is
not listed in world -- should it be? Or is it a system package?
OK, that's it for now -- thanks much in advance for your help.
