4.23.4 has a runtime dependency on gtest

[lidavidm]

Solution to issue cannot be found in the documentation.

• I checked the documentation.

Issue

Installing libprotobuf also installs gtest, which I would think is not a runtime dependency (I may be wrong!) 4.23.3 doesn't appear to have this issue.

To wit:

$ mamba create -n tempasdf2 libprotobuf=4.23.4

Thanks for the report. Fix is in #187. gtest had gained a run-export in the meantime, which we now need to ignore.

[lidavidm]

great, thanks!
