The only problem that today's updates created for me is that they
reinstalled the network-manager on the system that I purposely removed
it from.

I'd suggest booting into 13 and do the following:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

See if that fixes the problem.
