4 Is there a way with emerge or equery to determine what other package a
5 given package is a dependency for?

7 As a clarification, I have the "net-dialup/" subtree excluded from
8 portage as described by another thread on this list
9 (/etc/portage/rsyc_excludes). But when I run "emerge --ask --verbose
10 - --update --newuse --deep world", I get the "net-dialup/ppp" package as
11 one that is queued to be installed. I can only guess that this means
12 that it's a dependency of another package that is already installed.
13 So, how would I found out what the "root" package is that is requiring
14 net-dialup/ppp as a dependency?
15
16 Thanks.
