I do not remember getting multiple root prompts
Still to download and install the .deb file
I suspect that the issue is with the exclusion list.
Previously my old exclusion list was carried over to new version of MX Snapshot, now not so.
Later I will try copying a pre November copy of my exclusion list
ie pre November MX21.3 Snapshot to the lateset MX21.3 live system
Cannot see /home/Rod/ in the exclusion list
Follows is requested output
