If you look at Helmut's git repository, it'll tell you what you need BUT
I think this is yet another X-Y problem. I honestly can't tell what 
usrmerge would have to do with anything at all which might cause
your delays. Nothing at all, as far as I can see, but that is only
an opinion that I can't substantiate.

Gene - just build another workable system as simply as you practicably can
and admin it for a wile then sort out moving data. *Everything* is on
one system with you and there's so many things you've done that no-one
can unravel what is just a Gene problem and what's a bug.
Simplify, simplify, simplify - and when you hit problems, tell us all
*exactly* what you did last. The history command is your friend here.
