The good news...  That got Evolution running and Liferea almost back to
normal but both are operational.

The BAD news is something in those 39 downgraded packages is AFU and
causing this problem.  Meaning, I can no longer upgrade till whatever it
is is fixed.  Damn...

A subsequent "update" is saying "90 packages to upgrade".  Damn.
Needless to say, that was a test run to which I said "HELL NO".

Mike
