That happened to me recently and necessitated doing a fresh
installation, since the new packages took out the networking and
bluetooth. I fortunately have the data and system partitions separated
so that was easy ... and I still had the installation CD's ISO-9660
image still cached locally.

So the situation is not necessarily as rare as one might hope.
