# Omarchy: the build image compresses with zstd at its default level. Maximum

# 26.9.1 started shipping a systemd unit under /lib, and owning /lib -- a
# symlink owned by the filesystem package -- makes pacman refuse the whole
# transaction. The unit is also a no-op here: its setup script apt-installs
# Docker and the NVIDIA Container Toolkit and exits on any distro but Ubuntu
# (install those yourself; see optdepends). Delete it, and its parents once
# emptied; then anything else left outside opt/ and usr/ -- whatever its
# type, an empty bin/ or lib64/ included, since those are filesystem-owned
# symlinks too -- stops the build rather than shipping the next conflict.
