You mean "the single package update that involved manual removal, by YOU, of a
crucial component from the system".
And you didn't have to do a full backup. You could just do a quick incremental
instead. Unless you had terabytes of new stuff, it wouldn't have taken that long.
Even after you created that problem for yourself by removing a vital component
from your system, you had options. Instead, as usual, you've chosen to throw a
tantrum on the list. Not cool.

In all fairness, I wouldn't have performed that backup neither, as I
expect is true for a lot of even semi-knowledgable sysadmins and generic
linux powerusers. Not sor something as simple as this. However - There
is still the rescue mode that's been mentioned a few times already,
which could have fixed the issue in a matter of minutes. Without the backup!
