Thanks for letting us know.

Sigh, it means that someone (at SuSE ?) picked a patch that was made for
v1.18 and applied it to 1.14 without testing it (well, it is just a
'make check'). Smells somewhat like a greenhorn's mistake.

This makes me feel somewhat desperate :-(

SuSE should really thank you working on OpenCA and finding this out !
