30 Relevant snip from the manpage:
31
32 depends <local-opts> pkgspec
33 This command displays all dependencies matching pkgspec.
34 <local-opts> is either or both of:
35 -a, --all-packages search in all available packages (slow)
36 -d, --direct search direct dependencies only (default)
37 -D, --indirect search indirect dependencies (very slow)
38 --depth=n Limit depth of indirect dependency tree to n
39 levels. Setting --depth=0 is the same as not specifing --indirect.
40
41 So "equery depends" expects a package name, not a file name. What
42 exactly are you trying to do?
