   Good grief!

This comment stirred my memory and I realized I had rebooted into Fedora 
34 AFTER I had updated Debian Bullseye.

Nevertheless, I am still pullzed by those errors.


 Back in Debian is redid the debug suggestions.

frank@franklin:~$ stat /

File: /
Size: 4096            Blocks: 8          IO Block: 4096

(sorry about the wrapping)

frank@franklin:~$ ls -ld /

drwxr-xr-x 18 root root 4096 Jul 21 10:14 /

So "/" is owned by root with proper permissions!

What now ??

Sorry folks.
