The mantis handling is different than the web database.  The web
database is a clean rebuild from a current catalog.  This eliminated
all of the cruft that had accumulated.  The mantis database is more
involved though, so I've never done a clean rebuild.

I should do a cross reference between a current catalog and the
packages in the database and correct errors though.  While I'm at it,
is it worth completely removing packages that no longer exist?  Right
now, when a package is renamed or removed, I simply mark the package
as hidden.

Thanks
