    Hi Xavier-G,

    The issue comes from fact - corresponding package name seems got changed (probably temporary). As a workaround, ignoring dependencies, you can "install" the package by hand (suppose all needed libraries persist), copy contained files on the corresponding places. :wink:

    Good luck.
