Re: Upgrade problems?

Adding this up here as a quick read: If this was installation via
debs, I'm out of the conversation. If it was about untarring [zipped
files] and you can repeatedly reproduce the issue now that you have
seen this, PLEASE don't share the package name(s) publicly. They could
be... dissected and then reconstructed for less than moral purposes.
