Hi Tim,

I don=E2=80=99t have an opinion as I didn=E2=80=99t follow this closely.

Could you make sure the fix works with the DEs and WMs that the
installer proposes (see (gnu installer services))?

If it does, could you push it also to the =E2=80=98version-1.0.0=E2=80=99 b=
ranch?

Thank you for looking into this!

Ludo=E2=80=99.
