This is due to updates that have been made to [community] three days
ago.  I have still not come up with a good way to monitor [extra] and
[community] in an efficient way to be able to catch these events.

The suggestion to re-install worked fine up until [community] was
updated.

Yes on the former question.

Regarding the latter, I continue to have [haskell] above [community]
on my important systems for the simple reason that TUs have a tendency
to just adopt packages into [community] without any sort of
announcement.

Perl is another example of filling a tiny, short-term need, and then
being a real problem in the longer term.
