emerge saves a list of all installed files. This is independent of any |
| 13 |
ebuild file. It works even if the installed version doesn't have a |
| 14 |
corresponding ebuild anymore. |

You can try qlist <package name> to see which files belong to that |
| 17 |
package and qfile <some fully qualified file name> to see the package |
| 18 |
this file belongs to. |

Every thing is fully automatic. That's one of the biggest advantages of |
| 20 |
Gentoo in comparison to LFS. |
