Thanks for sharing the nice link, Andrei. Unfortunately, I took the novice 
approach on step 1 for the system files. I do not see any issues on the system 
anymore tough. To be on the saver side, I also did an "apt-get reinstall" of 
the relevant packages. I hope the next "apt-get dist-upgrade" will eliminate 
any so far hidden issues.

Thanks
Rainer
