</I>I hadn't done today's update at that point. I have now, and the drak*
packages are no longer listed. I confess I haven't been diligent in
cleaning out orphans in the past, so they could have been there some
time. Most of the listed packages seem to be libboost_* - are these
old ones? If there's any doubt I'll just leave things.
