And thanks very much for the info about this likely being due to selecting restart rather than update.
Yeah, the first time it happened to me ; I had cold sweats ...

With the Kindle 2 International it doesn't do that. It tells you that there was a problem with the update, and tell you to press the r key, and it then restart happily.

I hadn't thought about it, but that's almost certainly what happened. I had it in my mind that if you put the updater there and did a restart, it would update, so I'm pretty sure that's what I did. Maybe I can uninstall 0.06 successfully now, and I would have been too afraid to even try it, after that last go round, if you hadn't mentioned this. So a big
If I were you, I would simply install 0.07 over it, without bothering using the uninstaller from 0.06.
Actually, the 0.07 will do a nicer upgrade than the 0.06 uninstaller would have ever done...
The 0.06 version saved the original file in a specific location and simply copy the backup over the original... But say you had installed another package after installing savory, doing the savory restore will also delete the changes made by that earlier app.

0.07 doesn't do that, it parses the files modified reverting changes ; but it won't alter if other changes were made.
