Ah, the machine I searched with is Fedora 28... I see it doing 'dnf
search' on the newer 29 machine.

Oh, I wasn't paying attention so much to that. Didn't see anything that
looked like an error (probably walked away while it was going). I'll try
that again. May be a day or two.
On the stackup and the file I sent, I've pretty much gone with out of the
box defaults, and never really looked at the prefs/layers/groups thing
before my problem started. Not sure what best practice is, but it sounds
like trying pcb-rnd will make that more clear.
Thanks again for all the help! And checking out my file...
Cheers,
