hopefully simple programming issue
I am trying to track down a problem that I am having with updating my
system. I need to track down which packages are trying to use
MIME-tools-6.20002 so that I can clear it up. Now, I figure that the
easiest way is to cat and grep the entire portage tree, but I cannot
figure out how to do that. There does not seem to be a -R option for cat
or something of the sort.

Can anyone think of an easy way to do this?

If you have gentoolkit emerged, then the qpkg command will do exactly that
for you. Command syntax is qpkg -q <package-name>
