At other places in Internet they warn you about feeding the trolls. Or

not doing it. I forgot, which one it is. Just a firendly reminder.

Reco

I don't know to whom you are referring as a troll but I haven't even

expressed an opinion on such a dichotomy.  I have simply reported

puzzling findings, in an effort to clarify what the difference is in

simpler terms than those documented.  What it used to be and what

it is now.  Just a few days ago the use of the one and "maybe" not

the other, caused a needed package instead of upgrading to vanish.

I had to reverse to a different repository, pick it up and lock it in

place.

If this sounds like trolling activity please define trolling.

If you are referring to someone else, I apologize for the misunderstanding.
