  What does "very rare" mean? So it has happened to you on occasion? It
happens to me on occasion and certainly does to others as well and so I
don't trust it. I want an update to improve my system, not make it
worse.

  The problem is still there and no I have not rebooted yet. Actually, I
should point out that the update did solve the audio problem I was
having with Skype. Since the pulseaudio files were now brought up to the
correct version I was now able to install the 32-bit ones. Works great.

  Any idea if a reboot will fix this, or will I lose access to the Mate
terminal completely?
