apt-cache policy is a good tool to know about and use;
It appears as though I can install 4.0 from synaptic which will also cause
the removal of 3.2;
version 4 in the repo is the PUEL version;

- Have you installed the extension pack from oracle for 4.0.2 as well?

Thanks much for the reply - and the information re: apt-cache policy!
