I think you mean to ask if I built a new image after upgrade? Oh yes,
I did. But it is very lucky that I did not get rid of the old images
(pre-upgrade) because in certain cases, those are the only ones that
work. The brand new, new chroot, etc., images give trouble.
In fact, that is the issue: The fresh chroot images behave worse than
the old ones I saved. I'm confused by this.
