Thanks for suggestion. I wonder why this is necessary. I have kept the
system up-to-date with rawhide for a long time now and while there have
been times in the past with problems with dependencies, the
developers/maintainers make the needed corrections and eventually they load.
I wonder if that would be the case here, or if there is some underlying
problem on this system? Anyone?
TIA
