I think I should heed the caution of benny1967 and make do for now. I did keep the old file and have restored it sucessfully. Since I have only swapped out about 5 of the 100+ albums I can live with using file manager to open the last few that I changed.

lardman, I think you think I have a *nix os on my desktop. I wouldn't admit it here but (whisper) I have XP and so could not unpack a deb. However, your and other's responses are greatly appreciated. Thanks.
