Oh, so the dependency is specific to that feature? That's good to know, I
have no idea what that feature is, which suggests I don't use it.
All that said, I now, as if by way of a nudge, a crisis with that server, I
might have to rebuild it anyway, in which case perhaps I will upgrade it to
22.04 and be done.
My fingers are crossed I can get the machine back up--obviously that just
became my priority. Weekend? What's that?
Thanks for the input folks,
Cheers,
Simon
