Well I didn't mean to complain :-) As you said, usually downgrades (well rather: purge + install the old package, here) work,... it's just this time, that it didn't because of what Simon explained in #1065022 and it took me quite a while to realise that re-installing solved the issue. That plus the vanished lib files and that probably more people might be affected by the issue, made me think that it wouldn't harm to CC d-d :) Cheers, Chris.
