Doesn't work here.

An example:

> # pkg query %ro gnutls
> net/glib-networking
> multimedia/ffmpeg

Of course:
> # pkg query %ro glib-networking
> devel/libsoup
> devel/libsoup-gnome

> # pkg query %ro libsoup
> devel/libsoup-gnome

So, in the end, what I'm looking for is a tool which shows that, as an 
example, gimp-app and xfce4-screenshooter-plugin require gnutls.

I could easily achieve this with "pkg_info -R gnutls\*", back in the old 
days.

Fine: that would exactly be what I was looking for.
