13 Not really, this works when the bug is opened against a given package
14 from an overlay. Diego's raised issue is about some *DEPEND installed
15 from an overlay, but the failing package is from the tree.
16
17 emerge --info will not report from which overlays the *DEPEND has been
18 installed. I don't know of a simple command to list installed reverse
19 dependencies; qdepends -Q does not show repo_name info.
