When I saw the msg about
> Perhaps you need to provide the -g (--upgrade-also) flag
I tried running setup & got a short list of updates.  Applied the
updates and ran setup again.. and had no pending updates listed as
expected.  Then I ran setup -g and a few libXXX things were listed as
pending :(

Maybe I got lucky & the lib<whatevers> showed up at the mirror I was
using just after running setup the second time??  dunno, but
unless/until I can duplicate setup not showing any pending updates &
setup -g saying there are pending updates, maybe we should just write
it off as a one time occurrence.

Thanks,
Lee
