Well I didn't mean to complain :-)

As you said, usually downgrades (well rather: purge + install the old
package, here) work,... it's just this time, that it didn't because of
what Simon explained in #1065022 and it took me quite a while to
realise that re-installing solved the issue.

That plus the vanished lib files and that probably more people might be
affected by the issue, made me think that it wouldn't harm to CC d-d :)

Cheers,
Chris.
