14 'equery d debianutils' gives me
15
16 app-admin/sysklogd-1.4.2_pre20061230 (sys-apps/debianutils)
17 app-portage/gentoolkit-0.2.3-r1 (userland_GNU? sys-apps/debianutils)
18 sys-apps/mktemp-1.5 (>=sys-apps/debianutils-2.16.2)
19
20 The 2nd cb ignored, but the others seem important.
21 I have Mktemp-1.5 installed, so what do you mean by your lines 1-2 ?
22 Sysklogd seems to be an important pkg too.
