Thanks to you and Teemu Likonen for prodding my memory. 'apt-get update'
does not update dpkg's database so 'dpkg --status' me gave something
from a year ago and so the answers to the two queries were different.

No overruling or overriding. And no "verifiable" fact either!

Rather prosaic really. I think I'll go back to using 'dselect update'. :)
