It seems that libjack0.80.0 was removed awfully abruptly, leaving a lot of 
packages uninstallable. Maybe it was done as a "big-stick" to beat people 
into action, but it's pretty annoying for users and developers alike, 
especially since it conflicts with the C++ transition. 

Oh well, whatever.

Yes, I'm waiting on the C++ ABI transition of my dependencies. They are 
almost all there, but not quite. So yeah, until then cheesetracker will be, 
unfortunately, uninstallable.
