I'm not sure how I arrived at the 4GB swap partition, most likely I didn't
expect it would ever be used (at least hoped not!) and so didn't pay heed.
Perhaps I had ambitions of adding more, interleaved swap devices...
No need, it seems.

On the 1GB Pi2 and Pi3 some kind of hardware swap is essential for running
a GUI, though I have found headless servers work quite well with no swap
provided one limits concurrent threads..

After a second round of upgrade this morning I can't duplicate the
RESULT_CODE_UNINSTALL_USER_CANCEL error, even after setting flags
back to default. Maybe it's fixed, maybe it was nytimes.com, maybe
it's me.....

Thanks for reading!
