Thanx again for this nice script, it does it's work - and this is worth
the effort.

But I have one problem with the script, perhaps you can help me.

If I have two hosts definitions in hosts.xml, one special for a certain
host and one with regex for all common hosts, the report.pl prints
out the special host missing the remaining packages from the common
profile which shouldn't be installed on the special host.

To be clearer - an example:

profile1:
packages common to all hosts

profile2:
packages for the special host without e.g. acrobat8 which is included in
profile1 for the common hosts

hosts definitions:

<host name="ws-0026" profile-id="profile2" />
...
<host name="ws-.+" profile-id="profile1" />

report.pl gives:
WS-0026:  acrobat8 DBv: 5 PCv:

Any hints?

thanx in advance
Falko
