[lsst-dm-stack-users] Probably a really simple local issue that screws up building astrometry.net

[Dave Monet]

The directories /home/dgm/linux/... contains all of the utilities
that should be stored in /usr or similar that I am not allowed
to store there.  For what little it is worth,

I no longer have any idea what utilities have generated
these files.  Trashing my local version of useful things
will cause great angst unless there is some obvious way
to swap in the LSST version of reality.
