I was wondering about that. I a-sumed maybe it tried to over-purge
other important packages the way that happens sometimes.
Larry, it might others help you if you gave a hint or two about the

successful work-arounds if they hear more about what misfired. You
never know, you may have even stumbled onto a bug.. :)
