It returns:

[ Searching for packages depending on sys-libs/com_err... ]
app-crypt/mit-krb5-1.6.3-r1 (sys-libs/com_err)
net-mail/fetchmail-6.3.9 (elibc_FreeBSD? sys-libs/com_err)

Even though com_err is no longer present. I tried remerging fetchmail, but that didn’t change equery’s output.

BTW, we didn’t use e-mail to get me the e2fsprogs files, but Skype…

Wiebe, what does equery depends sys-libs/com_err return for you? Do you still see packages depending on it?

On my laptop, the result is empty.
