Thank you both. I can confirm that this upgrade completely breaks systems.
I'm a bit of a wimp, as well as a neophyte, so I bailed out and restored
a VM snapshot.
Now I understand how the package that was *not* upgraded croaked the
system, because the package that *was* upgraded has its SONAMEs
completely munged.
