 I have installed:

 {{{
   emacs-app-devel @20180621_0+multicolor_font (active) platform='darwin
 17' archs='x86_64' date='2018-06-24T00:14:05+0200'
   emacs-devel @20180621_0+imagemagick+x11 (active) platform='darwin 17'
 archs='x86_64' date='2018-06-24T00:29:03+0200'
   emacs-mac-app @7.1_0 (active) platform='darwin 17' archs='x86_64'
 date='2018-06-16T12:07:46+0200'
 }}}

 Why is `emacs-devel` not sufficient? I can understand why the `app`
 variants are not taken into account…
