Ok, the list definitely isn't accurate. If there is a legitimate reason |
| 36 |
to mask sylpheed-claws-1.x you also have to mask it's reverse deps. |
| 37 |
However I'm still waiting for the explanation why it is on that list. |
| 38 |
(I don't mind if it's masked for a good reason, but I need to know |
| 39 |
that reason). |

In the beginning, there was nothing. And God said, 'Let there be |
| 47 |
Light.' And there was still nothing, but you could see a bit better. |
