installed should have it, right?
I don't care if it's downloaded, linked or magically generated out of
looking into tea leaves, the problem is that the build needs manual
intervention and this is not documented anywhere.
We need to make sure that what we say you need to do is *only* what you
need to do. Every other (undocumented step) is annoying and slows our
community development down.
Yeah, I get it. My point is that I'm still not convinced we need this
to be downloaded...
So do we?

I can try it again I suppose - IIRC it was ibiblio that was the main
problem and that might have been a temporary issue.
People, you do realize that if fetch-depends breaks that often we
have a
bigger problem than just dealing with faulty updates?
Imagine that every time fetch-depends doesn't work we lose the ability
for some guy out there to contribute something to us.
This is, from a community building perspective, a *way* bigger problem
than if the JVM ran at all after it compiled!!
I remember the discussion over the msvcr71.dll download. Have there been
other problems?
it's still not fixed!
