So I would disagree with my out-of-work alter-ego, and I would consider
that external-deps is not broken: it has always explicitly just returned
the basename of the downloads and continues to do so. It is different
from what show-info provides.

Whether some people find it useful or not (I don't) is another subject.

Yann E. MORIN.

YEM.
