Thanks for all the wonderful feedback! The 'raco setup' function worked beautifully for me resolving my issues. Running raco setup without arguments did bring my system to it's knees, i.e., slowing it down to a snail's pace but after a reboot all seems to be well. Based on the displayed feedback, I saw that it did a lot of work. Would there be less work for 'raco setup' if I uninstalled all but the current and previous versions of Racket?
