I tried doing a 'startx' from runlevel 3, and got the following error:
xauth:error while loading shared libraries: libXmuu.so.1:cannot open
shared object file: no such file or directory.

If I try to fetch that library using up2date, the following error
occurs:
up2date:error while loading shared libraries:libxml2.so.2:cannot open
shared object file: no such file or directory.

It sounds like I am missing some files and that there is no way of
retrieving them with up2date.

Is it time to do a fresh reinstall?
