I have a hazy recollection of apt and something called "pinning" that lets
you prioritise these things, but am  a bit pressed for time to explore just 
now.

Anyway the install messages are as follows:

I'm guessing that probably should have killed the old process and started a 
new one no?

and for some reason it didn't do the

   D/I
install package maintainers version of the /etc/init.d/refdb script:
which consequently is still my original version from Feb.
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3035 Feb 12 15:28 /etc/init.d/refdb
(and which has a hardwired /usr/local

Apart from that it seems to have installed ok and both refdbd and refdbc 
seem to be working. I will try to run some more tests later, but for the 
moment, I reckon ya done good!
