Description Alexander Kurakin 2025-02-03 12:24:11 UTC 
xfce-base/xfce4-meta-4.18{,-r1} pull XFCE 4.20 packages.

Is it intended? Looks like a bug...

Sorry, it should have been a file.

seems intended. 
its not as you might think where 4.18 means install only 4.18.
since 4.20 is stable now, it will prefer that.
they are not differentiated into different slots like KDE.
my analysis is the older -meta packages are left in the tree for minor compatibility advantages, not for dictating you require all 4.18 only be installed

Yes I understand why it installs that.
The question was whether we know such behavior.
Thanks.
