Thank you. That helped. I had to look at the definition of jpkg to
figure out how to reinvoke it, but ('reinstall' jpkg 'all') worked
just fine, and I can now use labs.

That said, I'm not sure what more detail I can provide for this
situation. What would you need, if I run into a case like this again?

Thanks again,
