Ok, so the bad news: canorus was not in the package repository.  So
reinstallation is not trivial: I have to dig it up and then install it.
And then it is likely that the version I'll be able to find will be
quite different from what I had installed previously (and which would
never have been updated after that).  Probably not something I'll be
able to do before the weekend.
