Ah, I see.  The event is useful.  However, even with the package name,
at that late state, I still couldn't retrieve the app's meta data
bundle from the package manager, correct?  I tried to pull the
packages by uid and they had been deleted.  I assume that the app and
pkg infos are gone as well.  I've already built a registry now, but
I'm still curious.

thanks,

Jess
