Hello Bill, I got a closer look. It appears that [gap-]guava auxiliary binaries do not depend on gap-dev related packages. We must discard this dependency a part of resolving the issue. However, these auxiliary binaries are C compiled executables, that is to say that they are not scripts. Therefore the comment above/below is relevant.

Do you have a better idea ?
I am ready to write such a C patch. Is that okay with you ? Best wishes, Jerome -- Jerome BENOIT | calculus+at-rezozer^dot*net https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=calcu...@rezozer.net AE28 AE15 710D FF1D 87E5 A762 3F92 19A6 7F36 C68B
