Hi, Slate,

I'm sorry you couldn't reproduce the bug. I will try to provide the list of the installed pkgs the
next time, for both configs.

I will try the linux-6.0.y build on Ubuntu 22.04 "focal" and Almalinux 8.6.

Hopefully there will be a result later today.

I couldn't find an option to build both deb-pkg and rpm-pkg, so the Makefile is needlessly compiling
the source twice :-(

Kind regards,
mt
