[gentoo-user] howto list packages that depend on the package?

[Peter Ziobrzynski]

Is there a way to get the list of packages that depend on a package 
(dependent packages) then doing grep through the /var/db/pkgs like that?

	cd /var/db/pkg
         find . -name DEPEND | xargs grep avifile

Unfortunately this only lists locally installed packages.

The reverse operation for finding a list of dependent packages for a 
package is provided with 'emerge --emptytree -p mozilla'. Is there 
something like that for the first question?
