Thanks. It worked in the end, and wasn't as painful as I'd feared.

The problem with Mussels was weird. I guess it couldn't work out what 
platform I was using, as all the recipes were there, just 'not for my 
platform'. I had trusted the cookbook and everything.

As I was composing a message to put on the Discord to ask for tips, I 
was running through the commands to reproduce the problem, and then 
suddenly it worked. So, I have no idea what changed, so I can't really 
report a bug or what I did to fix it, because I simply don't know... I 
don't know if using a different command prompt messed it up (I use Take 
Command by default, not cmd.exe), but now it works OK in Take Command as 
well as in cmd.

It would have been useful if 'list -a' (or 'list -a -V') showed whether 
cookbooks were trusted or not, and which platform it thought I was 
using. 'list -a -V' shows details, but not that.
