Thanks but I think we're not there yet, I still see:

package/swaybg/Config.in:1: BR2_PACKAGE_SWAYBG selects BR2_PACKAGE_CAIRO, but does not depend on BR2_USE_WCHAR
package/fcft/Config.in:1: BR2_PACKAGE_FCFT selects BR2_PACKAGE_FONTCONFIG, but does not depend on BR2_USE_WCHAR

Could you check these? Note: I didn't check these myself, so make sure
these are not false positives.

Best regards,
