but it did the trick
definitely works again now that I replaced the '=' with '='

and the same with the '=' rule:
...weeeeeelll
I am positively sure that changing the rules from '=' to '=' was the
only thing I did, but now it works again also with '=' in place instead
of '='

I have no idea what else could have happened.
just a few more hours of uptime
nothing else installed, nothing deinstalled nothing configured
only some work done...

those are the things I hate most. having a problem sloved and not
knowing how...

thnx for you help
