string is proving to be a problem. |

How can a user tell which package an uninstalled tool is in? |

For example. I want to make an xfs file system. It turn out I have |
| 7 |
no mkfs.xfs. |

Neither sound like they would contain mkfs.xfs. But if they do, how |
| 12 |
can I determine that? I see no list of files or the like in their |
| 13 |
prospective directories and no commandline flags for esearch that look |
| 14 |
like they do that either. |

The package database listed on gentoo home pages appears to be laid |

I see no infomation about how to use it there at all. |
