Which would make sense as I was mucking about with these files when
trying to sort out the conflict with the PLaneT file.

I tried it, and tried various other things, butI kept finding references
to the plt file.  So I deleted the ~/.racket directory in the hope that it
would regenerate.  Unfortunately the doc database hasn't regenerated
so I can't run raco setup as there is no database for it.  I have tried
reinstalling racket from the debian repo, but no joy.  Any ideas?
