@Rebecca:  Thanks a lot for this workaround.  I've just uploaded to fix
the bug.

@all: When running routine-update I noticed that we are lagging behind
upstream.  Since I invested some time into refreshing the patches I created
a new branch debian_for_upstream_5.14.0_which_requires_conda.

This branch does not build due to new dependencies.  Besides this also
conda is required.  I did not dived into checking what dependencies we
might want to remove those tests / features for the moment - I simply
wanted to fix the RC bug.  However, we somehow need to catch up with
latest upstream.  Speaking about conda I wonder whether we should push
this forward in the COVID-19 hackathon.  Any opinions?

@Kevin: Currently you are the only Uploader of this package but have not
touched it a long time.  Could you please confirm your status?

Anybody else who wants to serve as additional / new Uploader?

Kind regards

      Andreas.
