12 Riyad,

14 Well it has to be one of the ones after gkrellm1, in the case of avifile
15 there were only 4 packages after it so it was easy to test each one with
16 emerge -p <package>
17
18 If you have a longer list then you need the help of qpkg -q <package> or
19 qpkg -q <package>-ver. You will need to emerge gentoolkit if you haven't
20 already to get qpkg.
21
22 hope this helps
