Hi All, My solution was a safe two step procedure: i) restore sources from backup ii) git pull to update the sources
The other solutions had more steps which could go wrong. In fact, I tried two suggested procedures to recover the sources from the git repository as suggested by Aitor. However, both of them failed. So, remembering I did a recent (8th Dec 2015) full system backup, I used it to restore the sources in an easy, concise and safe way. As I can understand it, git keeps a chronological (sequential) list of patches from which sources can be restored to any point in the sequence. The problem with me, and I dare say with many others, is remembering many commands and why they are used. Usually, the problem is not in understanding but in getting the message intended by authors of help files, as different people have the tendency to express themselves in different ways. So, there is a subjectivity which is virtually impossible to bypass. In my case, I posses a memory that favours long term memory much more than short term memory. This makes it more difficult to handle situations like the one I had as I cannot read a manpage, register it in short term memory, and solve my problem. Learning in my case and in a small percentage of people having my type of memory, takes longer, but is far more persistent.
