Correct, thanks! *Now* I remember reading that part of the thread :( The reason this problem came up just today, I discovered, is that late yesterday afternoon I was adding libreoffice 3.5.* to package.mask and noticed that lvm2 was listed there. I couldn't remember why I'd added lvm2 to the list so I commented it out. Thanks to you I remember why I did, and the problem is now fixed :) (Thanks also to Dale. Hope you're feeling better.)
