Reminds me of the other awkward behaviour I once hit where a package |
| 15 |
depends on something that is slotted, and mysteriously uses a middle |
| 16 |
version of the things that are slotted, and then breaks with that |
| 17 |
version that it for some mysterious reason found a preference for, and |
| 18 |
upon removing that particular version of the slot, it uses the most |
| 19 |
recent slotted version instead, and then works perfectly. |
