Thanks for your swift reply, Jonas. I didn't try your suggestion, 
because in the meantime I decided that after many upgrades, the system 
was in such a messy state, that it would benefit from a full reload.

So, I set about installing it from the latest netinst .iso image, which 
went quite smoothly.

Sadly, on reboot, I get the error:
file /grub/i386-pc/normal.mod not found.
Entering rescue mode...

Now what to do?

Cheers, Tony
