[gentoo-dev] significance of output from emerge -ep

[Nicolas Kaiser]

I'm having difficulties understanding why "emerge -ep" deprives me of
useful information about packages that are already installed, or in
different version.

Is there a special reason for --emptytree testing in this place?

TIA,
Nicolas
