Agreed. But then, the install from my view still succeeds, even if I get a 12.2 build installed on a 12.3 system. What then is left is that potential runtime dependency. Still, doing it with force compile would be better. I am going to do that as well.

E.g. tomcat 8.2 or 8.3 are minor updates, but tomcat 8.5 was/is in fact a major update at the company I work, because it was fundamentally changes. The numbers are just a clue, not reality.

Agreed. I was misusing the migration instructions (an unnecessary ‘migration') in an attempt to do an as-clean-as-possible build with the largest chance to run into any hidden dependency on the availability of /usr/bin/python.
