trying to start Xiphos

[ellanios82 <ellanios82@gmail.com>]

 my system is MX-Linux patito feo amd64


 : after recent system-Crash , am struggling to recover!


- when i try to start Xiphos , am getting error-message :

 "xiphos: error while loading shared libraries: libsword-1.8.1.so: 
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"


 - any suggestions, please, what to try , to get xiphos working again ??


.......

 [ remark : after doing an apt upgrade , last Friday , i did a 
recommended 'autoremove' : i jus got this suspicion that maybe something 
'too much' got removed , as when i next tried to re-boot , it was 
impossible for me to get to xfce log-in screen :

 from there i struggled and wandered into chaos

  :(  ]

.....

 thanks
