No it was not dumb, I have a problems doing so on my normal distro boot system
as mentioned in eaarler posts that relate to not finding libiconv library
elements.  Possibly caused by allowing the system to remove orphaned packages
when I should know better .

I did a recovery from a backup that was around 9 months old that in turn
borked.

Only solution was using a SSD boot partition that had the same system where I
did NOT clear out the orphans etc although doing a search for libiconv.* find
nothing - go figure !

I really must find another distro as Magiea has its own problems in getting a
working new release out but in any event allowing a new user to create a
password fails using Mageia and I have not found any solution.

A new distro sounds like a plan !

Back to your comment - doing a update is reasonably painless but I always make
a copy of the ~/bin directory before doing the make install but so far have
not had to use it.
