This rules out an error specific to the package I maintain, therefore this bug
is currently invalid and should be reassigned to another package, but I
honestly do not know which package that should be.

I also fear that the problem may be specific to some kind of corruption, or
package dependency/version mismatch local to your system.

Thanks, Kel.
