So if it is there because your switch is not \"system\", then it is just happy.  Yes, the depext should be there only for \"system\" switches, dunno if we can express that.\r\n\r\nIn any case the assertion is correct, if it fails you don't have camlp4 installed (hence the package should not install cleanly)."}}
