@abcdw thank you very much, that worked :)

Although I'm a bit hesitant about using --no-grafts for my user profile because, doesn't this mean that my environment will provide packages without the security fixes provided by grafts?

I''m okay using --no-grafts when developing GTK apps (which is the other place I have had to use it before), where I can easily use contained shells, but in my day-to-day environment...

Or am I misunderstanding?
