Colin,

Thanks for the info.  I use Lucid and I see that ppa-purge is only in 
the Maverick repositories.  How hard would it be to install it on Lucid 
if I decided I wanted to use it?  As you can probably tell from my 
questions I mostly install software from the official repositories.

Thanks,  Jim
