Thanks for both suggestions, Trond. I only installed this 12.1 and updated less than 2 weeks ago and I've run synth since that time.

As I said earlier, it was putting the Handbook in that caused the dependencies, I believe. I don't even have a GUI on this system yet, so that was rather pointless (and, in fact, unneeded, as this is intended to become a prototype for a headless server).
