Amazing, the bug reporter had virtually the same problem as I did. Unfortunately, I decided to reinstall anyway. I accumulate cruft (packages I install just to test and forget to uninstall), so I figured a fresh install of Bookworm with just the packages I wanted would be best. In any case, thanks for your advice. Paul -- Paul M. Foster Personal Blog: http://noferblatz.com Company Site: http://quillandmouse.com Software Projects: https://gitlab.com/paulmfoster
