  No problems - anyway, it's in experimental, so impact on releasability
is relatively minor...

  Hmmm... I had started to fix these dependencies ages ago in the SVN,
but for some reason I didn't upload them. Funny. But I hadn't spotted
all of them, so thanks for you report.

  I didn't actually use your patch as such, sorry, but it is fixed
anyway. Please expect an upload within a few minutes, just the time for
me to check it autobuilds fine.

  Cheers,
