Because the package was provided by you and not by Portage, there is no |
| 18 |
data for Portage to provide you with. /etc/portage/package.provided |
| 19 |
does one thing, lets the package fulfill dependencies of other packages. |
| 20 |
There is no way for Portage to have a file listing of packages that it |
| 21 |
did not install, so you would have to find another way to track these. |
| 22 |
An interesting idea though. |
