How do I get a list of installed packages in Gentoo?
The qpkg tool comes in handy for this task. You may need to emerge gentoolkit to use it.
| Code: |
| qpkg -I |
This will show a list of installed packages, but will not differentiate versions.
Example:
| Code: |
| # qpkg -I glib dev-libs/glib * gnome-extra/glibwww * sys-libs/glibc * |
| Code: |
| qpkg -I -v |
This will show a list of installed packages in verbose format. Verbose will show multiple versions of the same package.
Example:
| Code: |
| # qpkg -I -v glib sys-libs/glibc-2.2.5-r7 * dev-libs/glib-1.2.10-r4 * dev-libs/glib-2.0.7 * gnome-extra/glibwww-0.2-r2 * |
Also see: man qpkg

What version of Gentoo is this referencing. I am running: 2.6.28.
My qprg does not support the -I option.
Options: -[cEpP:vqChV]
-c, –clean * clean pkgdir of unused binary files
-E, –eclean * clean pkgdir of files not in the tree anymore (slow)
-p, –pretend * pretend only
-P, –pkgdir * alternate package directory
-v, –verbose * Make a lot of noise
-q, –quiet * Tighter output; suppress warnings
-C, –nocolor * Don’t output color
-h, –help * Print this help and exit
-V, –version * Print version and exit
That s/b qpkg in line 2 above.
Question still open.
Thanks.
