I rebooted (after the kernel update) and all seems well again.
Still wondering why that would happen....
On most OSes (including GNU/Linux) I doubt one can update (in other
words, change) something as low-level as an operating system's kernel
and continue to run the system normally. After the update and before the
reboot, the new kernel is updated on the primary storage medium and the
old kernel is still running in memory. I'd imagine that there are all
sorts of kernel dependencies where the currently-running kernel and
newly-installed kernel differ. Therefore you'll see lots of adverse
effects for the currently running system which are resolved by getting
everything rebased on the updated kernel. Hence kernel update packages
are marked to require a reboot as soon as possible.
