Hi Ryan,

Sorry I missed your email.

Things were blocking and I really had to move forward.
I therefore opted for an fresh install.
Everything went well, obviously.

But this means that we'll probably never know the origin of the problem
I encountered.

You spent some of your time providing me help and trying to figure out
what happened and I am very grateful to you: many thanks!

Best regards,

Rod
