heh. I thought about this for a moment, but didn’t check. Just sounded
too werid. But yes, confirmed.

maybe the Depends’ should be tightened so that invalid combinations are
not installed. But since testing has a working combination, this
priority of this is relatively low, I guess.

It would be nice to find out what was causing this and, if there is a
risk that this will happen again, use some mechanism to avoid this. But
again, there are likely more important things to do.

Greetings,
Joachim
