Sorry for a noise, but I would also be curious to know, as it is quite unexpected for a packaging system to miss such a compatibility issue and for a distro to not care. >> I expect this could have been addressed also by updating to 12.3. >> Cirrus also supports "matrix" so both could be tested. > > For now we opted to just update to 12.3, see [1]. Indeed we did. Let's make sure we fast-track the topic down to 'master' and possibly to 'maint'. I do not think it is worth letting it sit in 'next' for a week, like we do for usual topics. Thanks. P.S. I'll be offline today (like every other Tuesday).
