This is true. But you should mention, that 'qpkg' is deprecated
and 'equery' should be used:
,-[qpkg --help]

There are still missing features of qpgk in equery, though.
The point is, that 'qpkg' won't be/isn't in your $PATH anymore.
In the latest stable release of gentoolkit (which is 0.2.0-r2 on
my system) it is installed in '/usr/lib/gentoolkit/bin/' and from
0.2.1 on (these are testing atm) it will be found in
'/usr/share/doc/gentoolkit-${VERSION}/deprecated/qpkg/'
Further, if you have 'portage-utils' installed, you have a
executable called 'qpkg' which does something completely
different. But then you can take 'qlist' for exactly the above:
% qlist -I | grep sys-kernel
Or you can emerge eix and take eix for it. Or ...
So long,

But it isn't in $PATH anymore - that was what I wanted to make clear. And you're right that equery is slow, and it doesn't has some of qpkg's features. I have made a symbolic link /usr/local/bin/qpkg-old to qpkg (qpkg-old because I have portage-utils installed) So long, tkr -- Ahh... the smell of cuprinol and mahogany.

Normally the above command should do the trick. But there's a special case where it doesn't work, though. If you installed with the portage option '--oneshot' the package isn't recorded to the world file. Then you're still be able to confirm the package, though, if we're imagin that /var/log/emerge.log hasn't been touched (read: hasn't been rotated or such): % grep sys-kernel /var/log/emerge.log should do the trick then So long, tkr -- ... at least I thought I was dancing, 'til somebody stepped on my hand. -- J.
