It looks like reclaim was actually run by the old base version before 
exiting, after it had selfupdated. This isn't safe, as ably demonstrated 
by what happened next. There's no need to reinstall anything, since 
future commands will be fully running the new base version.

The good news is, this shouldn't be able to happen any more with 2.10.x.
