The packages you list are in the 'rc' state, i.e. removed but with configuration files still present. They have therefore not been upgraded. If you decide you won't need those configuration files again (use 'dpkg -s' to find out what they are), you can remove those packages with 'dpkg --purge'. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
