The advice above was not to rely on the tool to magically auto-compute a =

full solution for you, but instead to interactively navigate your =

complex(!) multi-suite system and make better sense of it yourself: =

Might help reveal a package you'd accidentally held back, or some =

deprecated library flagged as non-auto which you know you don't need, =

etc. etc.
