This gave me problems because the 'lrm lunar' associated with the previous
version removes files that are then required in the current build!

  # Building lunar version 1
  # Here, have a cookie!
  # make: Nothing to be done for 'all'.
  # Preparing to install lunar
  # Removed module: lunar
  # /var/lib/lunar/functions/build.lunar: line 241: \
    /var/lib/lunar/compilers/make: No such file or directory
  # Creating /var/log/lunar/compile/lunar-1.bz2
  # ! Problem detected during BUILD

I first recovered the previous version from the tar file in
/var/cache/lunar/lunar-201108* but this step was probably not
needed.

I later unpacked the new tarball from /var/spool/lunar and
simply ran 'make install' in the source directory. To make sure
that everything was tracked again, I then re-ran 'lin lunar'

Not sure whether this is a glitch or whether it will bite again.
