Hi Christoph, I don't know the answer to your question, as I don't own an IC-R5, but the package actually is installed according to popcon. Of course, this might be solely via the Recommends in hamradio-rigcontrol. Since it looks fairly simple to update, I volunteer to update it to keep it around for at least one more cycle. It seems like a small investment to make, and maybe it helps a few users. Cheers, tony
