Yes I realized the update and successfully recompiled it. Many thanks.

"End users" or package developers want to keep own packages compatible with future versions, so maintaining svn syncs is much more efficient than downloading snapshoots. In the current case it would have been much easier for me, of course, to go back to an older svn release (as I sometimes do). However, I felt to be responsible for reporting issues as contribution to the open source development process.

O.K., I'll wait a little bit longer in the future and many thanks for developing this great software.
