The last package change is ill-conceived. The build stays broken. A package cannot depend on both 'ocaml' (v5) and 'ocaml4', as they conflict with each other. Still not useful to keep this dead build.

This package has problems because of ocamlnet not being available for ocaml5. I asked the author of ocamlnet, if it was planned to update it for OCaml5. The answer was yes. So far there is no time plan for that, but next week I may habe more information.

It was asked from developer of ocamlnet more than one year ago (Fev 2023), and he didn't bother to answer. [a] Also there were work-in-progress were pull request commits submitted, but dev couldn't care less. And the submitting users admitted they are facing some difficulties and had hit a roadblock in making the patch work properly. [a]: https://gitlab.com/gerdstolpmann/lib-ocamlnet3/-/issues/27
Request #57934 has been Rejected by MarsSeed [1]: Deferring: not urgent. We can wait and see if upstream catches up or not. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/
