Thanks! I hadn't noticed the existence of /var/cache/edb/dep. Using it |

instead of /usr/portage/metadata/cache works flawlessly. |

All interested, please check the attached new version. It includes all |
| 12 |
suggestions which were made so far. It requires >=sed-4.0, otherwise |
| 13 |
replace "xargs sed -s" by "xargs -l sed". If there aren't further |
| 14 |
corrections/suggestions then I'll create a bug in bugzilla for it. |

Unfortunately when doing this, emerge starts complaining that it can't |

satisfy dependencies. |
