Thanks Andrey.  For some years, I have been using Maxima from ~x86 (but 
with the stable CLISP).  However, I'm currently in the process of trying 
to reduce the number of unstable packages on my system, to lighten the 
workload of upgrades both for me and for my CPU and hard drive.  I don't 
think I can quite handle a downgrade of Maxima to 5.18.1, though, so I 
guess I'll have to make an exception for Maxima.
