Yes I realized the update and successfully recompiled it. Many thanks.
"End users" or package developers want to keep own packages compatible
with future versions, so maintaining svn syncs is much more efficient
than downloading snapshoots. In the current case it would have been much
easier for me, of course, to go back to an older svn release (as I
sometimes do). However, I felt to be responsible for reporting issues as
contribution to the open source development process.
O.K., I'll wait a little bit longer in the future and many thanks for
developing this great software.
