Fredrik, Thanks so much. That worked.

Following this, I can now see that my combo2 has no previous elements
and contains only the elements relevant to selection in combo1.

Now, as soon as I select something in combo 2 and go back to change
selection in combo1 the combo2 must get its history cleared up (i.e
the previous selection in combo2's entry subwidget)

I used the command before I delete the entires :
self.combo2.config(history = False)

But this does not seem to be working;

Here is my code snippet:
****************
Inside the callback function of combo1:

for libName, libResults in self.__libVerDict.items():
                if libName == selectedLibName:
                    #Get the list of labelled results
                    resultsVer = self.__libVerDict[libName]
                    self.combo2.config(state = NORMAL)
                    self.combo2.config(history = False)
                    #Delete the previous entries from the listbox
                    #subwidget of combo box
                    subLB = self.combo2.subwidget("listbox")
                    subLB.delete(0, END)
                    #Add the results to the combo box
                    for results in resultsVer:
                        self.combo2.insert(END, results)
