    Okay, I was able to find the version 6.7.0-5 on a mirror and have
    upgraded to that. All seems to be okay.

    I also filed my very first bug report on this problem.

    https://freedesktop.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1529

    I hope I didn't make too big of a mess of it. I pretty much just said
    what I have posted here since it's the only way I could think to relate
    the problem.

    Thanks,
