Thank you Alan for the help!  Good to see you are still out there doing
all things X-like.

I found the issue and had to install a few things into Debian stable and
now I recall the process from years ago. It is very much like pushing a
little red wagon up a hill. When the wagon hits a stone and stops I have
to deal with the little stone and then go back to pushing up the hill
until all the little stones have been cleared out of the way.

At the moment the show stopper is :

However :


styx$ dpkg-query -l | grep 'llvm' | cut -c1-71
ii  libllvm7:amd64                        1:7.0.1-8

ii  llvm-runtime                          1:7.0-47
styx$


So what is this stone in the path this time as I can not figure it out.
