bash expects a filename as argument, not some random code.
Also not sure what your plan was with that, equery is a python script, so bash -x has no effect on it. |

Assuming you're trying to do this in a bash session, and not in some other interactive shell:
If you simply want to assign the output of `equery l *` to the variable `d`, and want `*` as a wildcard/glob for all the entries in the current directory, rather than passing an asterisk as an argument to equery (which would be .... odd), you can just do:
Which means: "Run `equery l *` in a subshell, and put resulting output in the `d` variable." |

Although unusual in general, for equery l, this is well-defined. Per the manual, this instructs equery to list all installed packages. |
