1 Hi,
2
3 I have a very simple question. How to emerge (update) all packages
4 which depend on some
5 given package P.
6
7 I've tried
8
9 emerge -uv1 `equery -q d P`
10
11 or emerge -uv1 `qdepends -q -Q P`
12
13 but both commands (equery and qdepends) generate a list with the
14 version attached like
15 app-editors/kile-2.1.3
16 which emerge doesn't like (unless there is an '= in front of each name)
17
18 Is there an easy way to do so without resorting to shell/python
19 scripting?
20
21 Many thanks for a hint,
22 Helmut
