thank you for the link suggested. I will use that (almost like a playbook) to see, what is going to be ahead ... I have been upholding the upgrade for several reasons, some of which are not coming from the problem field. But i just checked: the packages i am actively holding back consist of: - ZFS - virtualbox - firefox - thunderbird Obviously, upgrading any of those would stop my current workflow from being functional. That let me stick with the saying, to "Never change a running system." ;-) As i see it, there are plenty of things to do now, beginning with another attempt at straightening out the file permission issue, followed by attempting the upgrade in a vm first. Thanks again for the linked article, which will come in handily. Cheers, DdB
