The thing is, a package should not require an out of repository
package. If it is needed, the package should be included on packman
somehow, linked if possible, or the need for another repo documented.

Me I'm not interested in clawsker, I don't use claws. Maybe I
installed claws for testing at some point, and thus I got the error I
reported (which I can't replicate a second time). I did not save the
solver case.
