1 I don't understand how to use e-file from the app-portage/pfl package.
2
3 It seems to find packages for fixed files that already exist on my
4 system, which equery already does (and better, IMO). But the reason I
5 installed pfl was to search for stuff that is _not_ installed, with
6 wildcards - and I can't figure that out.
