Ok, I'm lazy.  I'm still running Centos 6.

Linux t4.mnopltd.com 2.6.32-754.23.1.el6.centos.plus.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu 
Sep 26 11:58:20 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I recall that there WAS an in-place upgrade, (to Centos 7)  then there 
wasn't.  This is a mirrored disk config, and I'm not wild about 
reinstalling just for entertainment.

For a while, there were no updates, then updates started again.  After 
the last batch of updates, I'm seeing a small pile that won't install.

I would be nice to get chrome updated.  Any thoughts on how to move 
forward without lots of manual labor?

Regard,

Neal
