Thursday, January 04, 2018. 01:30AM PST. Just got another new update. Ubuntu Base, and, GZdoom, Several (4 or 5) WINE updates. (I currently use WINE primarily to run my Deep97 and DeepBSP Map Editor programs). This solved the MESA upgrade problems., and also when I ran 'sudo apt autoremove --purge' prompted that it would remove libllvm4.0 rather than libllvm5.0.

This Solved the Problem.

This is also why I generally file these reports as 'Ask a question' not knowing whether they are proper bugs, or something that the next update will solve.
