18 Hum, then that rules out my hypothesis. But notice that in my original
19 post /etc/gtk, the directory, was found to belong to gtk+-1.?, whereas
20 /etc/gtk-2.0, the directory, was not found to belong to anything. So I
21 don't think it is as clear as "equery doesn't link directories"...
22
23 Though, since you got me thinking: it seems that equery cannot deal
24 with the trailing slash.

33 which is why in my original post /etc/gtk-2.0/ cannot be found and
34 /etc/gtk could be. My mistake there.

36 Is this behaviour somehow intended?
