7 Add --tree to this command in order to see what is pulling it in.

16 You really should do something when you see warnings like this. net-im/aim was
17 masked for removal more than five weeks ago. It was removed from the tree

28 By default equery shows only dependencies of what is currently installed. It
29 may miss something but more probably something you have installed got
30 xplsprinters added as a deep dependency.
