I keep a list of packages I want to keep, which I add to, if I want to keep a package installed. With that in mind, I reinstall. This wipes the slate clean of packages I don't want anymore. And as has been mentioned elsewhere, some packages fall off the roster. If you upgrade they'll stay, but if you reinstall, they'll go away, which is often a good thing. Paul -- Paul M.
