Actually, now that I think about it, this "problem" may be related to
0x00 problem. The only packages I noticed this on were local updates of
the auto-* and libtool* packages that I was testing.
But I had been installing these updates using setup-snapshots. So all
of my .lst file had 0x00 -- and then when I tried to upgrade, the
uninstall didn't work exactly right...
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
