Hi Clemens,

Thanks for the report.

The issue with the dependencies of the packages was discussed, and
adding a dependency for a demo was not welcomed. So, I will fix the
demo to use text_waitbar only if miscellaneous is loaded. @everyone:
Would that be ok?

Regarding lapack, I do not know what to say. I assume user will get
the latest/fixed version (?).

Thanks again.
