Two more culprits. I don't understand why these duplicate named directories and setup.hints were created. Package names are supposed to be unique so it was basically luck (and an upset bug) that the _obsolete directories were quietly overridden before. I've removed _obsolete/apr1 and _obsolete/aprutil1. cgf
