Comment 3 Herman Viaene 2021-10-27 11:40:11 CEST

MGA8-64 Plasma on Lenovo B50
No installation issues.
As stated in bug 28084, 
# urpmq --whatrequires lib64cairo2
returns a long list
picked out caja and run
strace -o libcairo.txt caja
and checked and found references to libcairo lob files.
Works OK.
