kthxbye

Hi Yavor,

I'm sorry to report this, but gnustep-base-runtime 1.20.1-5 fails to
upgrade on one of my machines due to a not running gdomap. (I can't
remember it failed before, though, maybe gdomap was running back
then.)

Preparing to replace gnustep-base-runtime 1.20.1-4 (using .../gnustep-base-runtime_1.20.1-5_amd64.deb) ...

Despite the "Starting GNUstep distributed object mapper: gdomap.",
gdomap is not running afterwards.
