Sorry Chris,
I had my pessimistic hat on yesterday morning.
I thought that if a command should be issued to implement an upgrade,
it would have been run during that upgrade. eg. Halting cups printing
system.
Installing cups-0345-71 [or something],
Restarting cups printing system.
[end bad example]
When that sort of thing didn't happen, and apt-get told me to run a
command, I had a feeling something was missing or misconfigured on my
system.
Hence "of course". If I was on mains power, instead of solar, I could
have left my lappy on and waited for something to come up in the next
update, and possibly fixed in the next upgrade. But that's just not an
option. So I shut it down and later when I had time rebooted and
realised some things were seriously wrong.
Other emails this morning might explain other elements?
So my mistake for thinking out loud without explanation.
Be well,
Charlie
