But we don't know what changed on your system to cause that error,
because you didn't tell us which packages you upgraded. Note that I did
not call this statement meaningless but the comment about an update
world. Look at my original post again, I edited it so that that comment
only applied to a single statement, the error message was referenced
later.

You really don't get it do you? Try reading the thread again, you gave
absolutely no indication of which packages were updated. Try looking up
meaningless in a dictionary - stating that you did a world update without
any context does indeed make that statement without meaning.

I don't need anything from you. You are the one with the problem, I was
trying to help you find a solution.

Why? You have ignored everything I said to try to diagnose and fix the
problem and focused entirely on a perceived insult from a comment that
one statement in your original question provided no useful information;
even though it also contained an explanation of why this was so and
guidance on how to provide that information. I wish I hadn't bothered and
had concentrated on the questions I am paid to answer.
