Just upgraded mac os. Now to see what has broken.
MacPass so far.
Here we go
cellini:~ alan$ exiftool
Can't locate Image/ExifTool.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Image::ExifTool module) (@INC contains: /usr/local/bin/lib /Library/Perl/5.28/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Library/Perl/5.28 /Network/Library/Perl/5.28/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Network/Library/Perl/5.28 /Library/Perl/Updates/5.28.2 /System/Library/Perl/5.28/darwin-thread-multi-2level /System/Library/Perl/5.28 /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.28/darwin-thread-multi-2level /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.28) at /usr/local/bin/exiftool line 40.

exiftool seems to be fine after re-installing. Doesn't appear to need perlbrew.
mono is broken so subsurface and KeePass are broken. Strangely SuuntoDM5 works but I think that uses it's own version of mono.
Calendar and contacts still communicate with radicale on a raspberry pi and onwards to my android 'phone.
I've had to give up with ImageMagick. Which is a shame as I've been using it for years. There is a bug in the mac executable that references a library under / rather than the library path. I've fixed this in the past by putting an symlink in /.
Compiling ImageMagick for source on the mac seems fraught with difficulty, I don't want to use the brew stuff and even after following all the hoops to put a file in / on my own mac, there is no guarantee the operating system won't wipe it out.
I have looked around and NConvert seems to provide what I need.
Next laptop is going to be Linux I think, with one software item running in a virtual machine running windows.
I've found all of the security enhancements to be a real pain. The last security update broke CSV for me in my Windows virtual machine. I dread upgrading to Big Sur, and won't do it until I am forced to.

Neither the new Nikon NX Studio nor the the upgrades to its predecessors support High Sierra any more so I took the plunge.
cellini:bin alan$ sudo ls /Users/alan/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail

I can't even ls, even with sudo, stuff under my home directory.
Wow. Just, wow.
The main effect of computer security is to protect our own machines from ourselves. :(

Works for me. You may need to run System Preferences - Security & Privacy - Privacy. Go to Full Disk Access, unlock it and add Terminal.
Best,
Hubert

Thanks for that. I can get into the time machine backups now from terminal.
My success this week was to get ImageMagick working without needing home brew nor ports. Some help from a github forum and some internet searching.
