Actually... quite a lot more needs to be said :(
I doubt that I will be the only person who has been caught.
The cure suggested is: re-install. In practical terms this is a
nightmare. Right now, everything on my (quite complicated) system works
fine (as far as I can tell).
One comment posted by the original author reads:

packages it's installed should leave your system in a safe
state.

with emphasis on the word "should".
Does anyone have any thoughts?
