Hi Adrian,
Currently i use 'qpkg --dups -v', it's in "app-portage/gentoolkit" but
for some time is deprecated (+ etcat) and their replacement is 'equery'.
When emerging latest (~x86 in my case) at the end of emerge there are
some info about "qpkg&etcat" move them if you wish to use.
A quick check of equery options didn't show the same tool (output all
slotted packages), somebody?
HTH. Rumen
