I've mainly installed stuff.  And, I don't think I've updated anything
since I installed TeX (I don't think I installed much of anything since
then except netpbm and gimp).  I *know* I haven't done an update with a
-u option.

Yes.

I got it reinstalled, so that's ok, but I'm still curious as to just
how/why that happened.  I use TeX for too many things to allow anything
else to fsck with it....  (Btw, I use plain TeX only...LaTeX---or is
that laTeX---is just too weird...where plain TeX is nice and simple[1]).

Thanks,
