Note that right now ‘--with-latest’ has no effect because it’s already
the latest version that’s packaged:

So as you wrote, the issue you’re seeing probably has nothing to do with
‘--with-latest’.

Could you show exactly what command you’re running, what output you’re
seeing, and what you were expecting?

TIA,
Ludo’.
