Concretely, the user environment would depend not only on the packages that are installed, but also on the glib version that is current at the moment of installation. While this glib can be seen as an additional input, so functionality is not disturbed, I still think it is not really desirable, and I would prefer a solution "local" to each packet. But here, I do not see any. Andreas
