That is not really fair, we do not have foo-qt3, foo-qt4, foo-mysql, foo-psql .. We have "foo" with useflags. So either remove the -dev, -qt3, -qt4, virtual packages, [..] from that list, or calculate the number of use-flag permutations possible for our packages. I guess that gentoo beats debian :) Cheers, Emil -- Emil Beinroth 83059 Kolbermoor | Germany BUFFERS=20 FILES=15 2nd down, 4th quarter, 5 yards to go!
