Which makes me feel I did something fundamentally wrong :)

I used "portage.db['/']['vartree'].dbapi" and 
"portage.db['/']['porttree'].dbapi" to get the API for installed 
(vartree) and available (porttree) packages. This is not available ing 
pkgcore. I haven't found a quick guide on how to use pkgcore but I will 
have a further look.

Thanks
