David,

Thanks for your reply. If that's the case, /usr/openv/pack/pack.summary
might be a better place to go?

# cat /usr/openv/pack/pack.summary
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE !
NB_CLT_50_3_M installed +NB_50_3_M
NB_50_3_M installed *NB_CLT_50_3_M
NB_ORA_50_3_M installed *NB_CLT_50_3_M
NB_VLT_50_3_M installed
NB_JAV_50_3_M installed

Thanks,

Rongsheng
