39 For the right answer, for your patience with a "newbie" to Gentoo and
40 for always seeming to have the right answer to any post that you reply to.

42 I learned something new today. I *did* try using equery to determine
43 the dependencies of pine and uw-mailutils-2004g, but didn't get any
44 dependencies listed. Anyway, next time, I won't have to bother the list
45 with a like problem. :-)
