21 Thank you both. Looks like Mark is right. Genlop shows that this version was
22 installed on 9 Feb and that version 3.1.3-r1 superseded it on 27 Feb. 3.1.2-
23 r4 certainly doesn't exist on this box now, except as a package and some log
24 files, so I think I'll just remove those and shrug my shoulders.

26 Perhaps this is a weakness of eclean: it depends on the current tree
27 containing details of the package it's considering deleting. When those have
28 gone, it falls over.
