Greetings, Bjorn Kautler!

Apology. My current locale does not include western diacritics.

That's the worst thing you could possible do.
It changes so many states on so many packages at once, that the result is
hardly predictable.

If you ask me, Setup is long overdue for a complete replacement.
It "don't have" so many things other package managers allow, that I don't even
know, where to start. Meta dependencies? Suggestions? Virtual packages?

Select "pending" list and remove checkboxes from binary packages you don't
want to install.

Indeed. That's quite interesting.
