Does anyone _know_ which packages are required? It's difficult to believe we're actually discussing this for functionality that used to come by default.
In the thread I mentioned we discussed that. One suggestion was to look at an earlier thread.

For me it works fine in 13.1, has done for a long time. I wonder if I compare the lists of installed packages ?
Yes, I would you that. I can run a package list command that you suggest in my working 13.1 -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
