The PDB is stored in a MySQL database. And old entries are normally

I don't know MySQL, but couldn't the SQL request check to make sure
that the package is listed in one of the current groups, before
including it in the output?  (Or would the overhead be too great?)
Doesn't the pdb auto-update with a script daily? If that's the case, why not just look for old ones and DELETE them from that script?
