I was getting the list of packages by doing -ep and that awking it several times to get the same thing. I have been toying with programming since I was 8, yet I've never done any sort of Linux-based development as yet (unless fixing a couple of easy bugs counts). The one project I am privately working on is being done in Java because I'm still afraid of the multicoloured monstrosity when it comes to the market-place! Glad to be of assistance.
