So if I take that list and go back and try re-running the hooks -- that may be one way to fix it? Worse come to worse, I'll just wipe /root and reinstall... So for my edification -- what happened was after update, the new pacman was installed along with the new hooks, but since the pacman I ran the update from was too old, it croaked trying to run the new hooks from the updated pacman? Will we give it a go. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
