I think you just gave me a shortcut for what I did by hand. I had
noticed that the one's in Status flagged by deselect said something like
install ok not-installed wheras those not were purge ok not-installed,
etc.  Anyway, I replaced the first install with purge and dselect came
up with nothing... But I'll keep your code for future reference :)

Thanks,

Jonathan
