1 Hi,

3 I did not use esync, I did not even know about it, and I do not recall
4 seeing it in install docs...
5 It is quite strange why equery (which is in gentoolkit package) relies
6 on eupdatedb (which is in esearch package), and gentoolkit does not
7 depend on esearch.
8 If it were not for your answer, I wouldn't have known about esync and
9 eupdatedb.
10 I think maybe the install docs should be updated, or at least put
11 esearch as a dependency of gentoolkit.

13 Regards, and thanks for your answer,
14 Catalin
