Thank you both. Looks like Mark is right. Genlop shows that this version was 
installed on 9 Feb and that version 3.1.3-r1 superseded it on 27 Feb. 3.1.2-
r4 certainly doesn't exist on this box now, except as a package and some log 
files, so I think I'll just remove those and shrug my shoulders.

Perhaps this is a weakness of eclean: it depends on the current tree 
containing details of the package it's considering deleting. When those have 
gone, it falls over.
