This gives 402 packages. Surely that can't be right for number of packages in the category 'system'.
i don't know what file it is in but you can do
emerge -pve --nodeps system | grep ebuild | wc -l which gives 68 for me
Thanks. I simplified that to:
emerge -Oevp system | grep -c ebuild
It seems it cannot be done any faster e.g. from a file.
