Anything you know how to do is easy. It's easy to be rude to a newbie too,
and you know how.

First of all, equery isn't a standard command. You have to emerge
gentoolkit to get it.
Secondly, if the package the file belongs to isn't already installed (or has
been removed, e.g. because of a --depclean gone wrong), equery won't find
it, cause it can only search already installed packages.

In your case, there's no need to be condescending. Your advice would be a
hell of a lot more useful if presented humbly, and if you'd stated the
requirements and limitations.
