16 i saw this error:
17
18 > /var/tmp/portage/sys-libs/pam-1.1.4/temp/environment: line 2226:
19 > scanelf: command not found
20 > * ERROR: sys-libs/pam-1.1.4 failed (install phase):

22 and with
23
24 % equery b scanelf
25 * Searching for scanelf ...
26 app-misc/pax-utils-0.2.2 (/usr/bin/scanelf)
27
28 i knew that it belonged to pax-utils. that only works, if a package
29 owning that binary is installed. if there wasn't, i would have used a
30 web search engine. the results normally contain man pages saying which
31 package the command belongs to.
32
33 that means either /usr/bin/scanelf is missing or /usr/bin is not in the
34 path (at least not in the environment of portage). i thought the latter
35 would be unlikely :)
