Poking at the machine remotely, it does appear that you already have
this update. m-tor is set to automatically update when new releases
become available, and it appears that it did so from roughly noon to
1pm on Friday.

If you could be a little more specific about how it appears to be
broken I might be able to offer some more advice here. I'm still
recovering from a nasty bug I had over the weekend, but assuming no
one else manages to help you first, I should be in later this
afternoon and can take a look in person.
