No, not your bad. I was in the same boat as you when I wanted to |
| 5 |
install sar. I found the gentoo package name on the web. |

Sorry if my previous post suggested the executed commands would have |
| 8 |
found the package name for sar on a system which didn't already have it |
| 9 |
installed. |

As you discovered "equery belongs <file name>" only returns results for |
| 16 |
installed packages which own "filename". |

I'm not aware of any tool that will tell you what files a package will |
| 19 |
create/own before it's built and installed on the system. |

It would be nice if there was some sort of online database that could be |
| 22 |
queried for such information. Something like how the equery tool |
| 23 |
functions but online instead of locally. |
