Cheers Bret, I was unaware that a ~ signified the package as unstable.
On the same note: Anybody know why acct has been marked as unstable, Debian class this as mature and it does not appear to have had code update for 5 years. I have checked the Gentoo bugzilla and found one entry relating to acct, this is a request to have it included.

The ~ means that architecture is unstable.
