 Yes, as I wrote in the bug report, it helped me.
 However, I didn't expect the bug: UPDATING says some files are  
 overwritten (which means I can break my system if I don't do as  
 required), not that installation will err (which seems unrelated to  
 the dependency loop problem I mentioned).
 Therefore, I thought that I had found a bug unrelated to UPDATING's comment.
 
 But since, in the end, following UPDATING solves the issue, I wasn't  
 sure whether the bug was valid or not. Feel free to close it.
 
 
 Cheers,
 
 P!
