The update does not do this unless you are updating in some way
unknown to me.  Your desktop installation cannot run without a dadevs
file of some sort.  In aips this can be messy - you are allowed to
have a "private" version ~/.dadevs, a version in the $DA00 area for
your machine ($AIPS_ROOT/DA00/<hostname>), and the standard one
in $AIPS_ROOT/DA00.  And that one can be DADEVS.LIST.<sitename> or
just plain DADEVS.LIST.  We actually use both here - the former
DADEVS.LIST.COAOARN for linux boxes and DADEVS.LIST for solaris ones.

There is a sample DADEVS.LIST file in $SYSUNIX = 

$AIPS_ROOT/31DEC05/SYSTEM/UNIX
