OK, that’s good to keep in mind for the future. I’m still a bit surprised that a fresh install was missing such an important dependency.  The installation web page for the .pkg installer doesn’t mention it, and in fact implies that selfupdate does a sync automatically.  I wonder if that failed for some reason, and I didn’t notice.
