Yes, I know libfindlib-ocaml installs META.graphics unconditionnally.

Quoting the aforementioned META.graphics file, it contains the line

"""
exists_if = "graphics.cma"
"""

My understanding is that ocamlfind only reports graphics as installed if
the file exists, which should only be the case when ocaml-base is
installed. This is the behaviour I can notice on my system.

Looking further, I tried installing the other packages containing a
graphics.cma file (mingw32-ocaml and liquidsoap-plugin-graphics), but
still failed to reproduce.

Do you have some graphics.cma installed anywhere that could confuse
ocamlfind?

Thanks,
