Oh, found the cause.

     
https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/raspbian/applications/rpi-update.md

     rpi-update is a command line application that will update your
     Raspberry Pi OS kernel and VideoCore firmware to the latest
     pre-release versions.

     WARNING: Pre-release versions of software are not guaranteed to
     work.  You should not use rpi-update on any system unless
     recommended to do so by a Raspberry Pi engineer.  It may leave your
     system unreliable or even completely broken.  It should not be used
     as part of any regular update process.

Side question:

I think that I have only used this once, with no adverse effects. I usually use 
'sudo apt-get update'.

Is this different?
