Hello, Jack.

Sorry it's taken me so long to reply.  Just after I first posted, I
updated my system, with which libssl-1.1.1w got unmerged.  So my qmail
stopped working.  I've now reinstalled and configured it.

Possibly because it didn't occur to me that --unmerge would work on a
package that wasn't properly installed.

However, after unmerging it (and two ancient versions of php),
@preserved-rebuild worked.  :-).  So I'm back in action.

Thanks very much!
