(In reply to Roger Pau Monné from comment #13)

well, I can understand that some packages - especially kernel modules packages
- need a minimum kernel version for functioning properly.

But why "timidity++-tcltk" or "qt5-x11extras" (in my yesterday case) are
needing a minimum kernel version, that's a mystery.

And relying on data in ELF sections in binaries where the version of the
building host and not the version of the currently running host is saved,
instead of using getosreldate() or sysctls is another question IMHO...
