Aha!  Yes, that did the trick.  I incorrectly assumed that dpsyco-lib
and dpsyco-base would be dependent on dpsyco, and therefore should have
been removed during the dpsyco purge.  The dependencies were apparently
the other way around.

Also, I didn't really understand until now the full significance of the
dlocate output.

Thank you very much.
