IOW, is it trying to match "default" rather than "linux-g++-64"? I've seen that error a number of times and it's a hard one to catch in the logic flow if one's dereference assumptions are incorrect. > Of course it needs further investigation but it is rather complicated > to do this right now Understood. The problem just interested me enough to see what I could make of it, and I posted what I came up with in the hope that it might be of help to you or anyone else deciding to take it further... which decision would depend on having the time, of course. If you/we are lucky, some other user with a bit of time and technical skills is reading, and will find the discussion intriguing enough to followup on and file a bug with a patch. =:^) Meanwhile, as you said, "the workaround is quite safe and doesn't cause any further problems :)" -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
