If so, do we actually need instructions without (e.g. the=20 > opensuse_essential_15.6.sh above)? Probably, but to be fair I'm trying to match what is installed on the Autobuilder (and that is known to work), and I'd like to avoid dropping one requirement by mistake. That's a bit inefficient, but a bit safer. I wish t= he Autobuilder list of requirements was public and allow my to test things but= I don't have such an environment :/ Antonin
