CopyClip and other Applets give a damaged/reinstall error on Mac mini

started with CopyClip then Contact Sync for Google.

CopyClip give a "damaged error, toss and reinstall from AppStore".

Tried that several times.

Signed out of AppStore, rebooted, tried again. No joy.

Contact Sync won't launch.

Ran DU. No change.

Ran Onyx. No change.

Ran Etre found a couple things I couldn't account for.

Tossed 'em and restarted. Still no joy.

Tossed com.apple.systemuiserver.plist.

Booted in Safe. Both work fine.

The problem seemed to have started around 12.6.9 update.

I'm now on 12.7.

just tossed a bunch of recent stuff including a java based app and java.

ran DU and Onyx.

no change.

Microsoft auto-update for Office I left thinking it should be safe.

Getting to the point of system reinstall.

argh!
