I know all of that. It is just that #1068722 has been "lingering" since Tue,
9 Apr 2024 18:48:02 UTC with nothing being done about it. 17 months with not
even a comment from a maintainer... *I* tried to build the backage from
source, but that failed too. It appears that there are some real problems
with various android-* packages and I'm wondering is anyone is even aware of
the problems...
