I certainly agree with both those points, thanks, @chrisrg.
Of course I did not follow up in my first approach to your problem, but assumed from your response, there was not a conflicting version!
I had a link to “developer” platform-tools by version, but it is not found (may be due to Google signing in issues that I cannot do).
This appears to be a functioning link to platform-tools version r30.0.5-linux, should you choose to try it!

To look for other versions, you must accurately change the url
with due regard to SDK Platform Tools release notes
