Is this a static, package dependency? I cannot reproduce any such
problems on sid using:


  $ sudo apt install opencpn
  $ sudo apt install oesenc-pi opencpn-plugin-draw \
    opencpn-plugin-objsearch opencpn-sglock-amd64

and a ppa line in sources.list like:


deb [trusted=yes] http://ppa.launchpad.net/opencpn/opencpn/ubuntu \
    bionic main


So, could you please expand a little on the problem?
