A039787 and A049091 are duplicates

I agree with Mr. Klasen.

It can be shown that A039787 includes only primes (in agreement with the 
comment).  Given this, the definition of A039787 devolves to primes p with 
p-1 squarefree, which is precisely A049091.  The reason they are distinct 
sequences in the OEIS is that A039787 omits 2, which it should include.  The 
two sequences should be merged, I prefer the A049091 definition.
