For lack of a better idea I tried rebooting and once the dust settled
YouTube videos returned to normal, so apparently I didn't reboot when
I should have after an update. Is there a test for needing to reboot? 

The reboot was surprisingly fraught. After a graceful reboot there
was a black screen. Power-cycling produced the same result. After a few
such tries I booted from a microSD. The machine came up immediately,
fsck reported the boot USB disk clean. After a graceful shutdown and
removing the microSD card the Pi5 came back up from USB when power was 
reapplied.

So far, so good.

Thanks for reading,
