Thanks to everyone that provided suggestions. I was about to follow the recommended step of renaming /usr/local and reinstall a bunch of programs. However, that renaming is blocked, presumably by Apple System Integrity Protection. Is there any alternative to disabling this Apple "feature"? Do you recommend to re-instate it after the re-construction of /usr/local/ ? As you see, I am not familiar with Apple tricks.
