Thanks Pete, I tried again but still get this one error: cannot remove
Inbox.ev-summary.  Following Matthias suggestion I checked ls -l.....
there is no file called .../Inbox.ev-summary.  I suppose that's why I
get that error.

fortunate not to have had the problem until recently, so maybe it's time
to back-up and install 11.3.
