If you did a search on this issue you'd find the Microsoft is aware of
their mistake and it
will be fixed in a new release "soon".
The suggestion is to either stay on the current version until the
fix. Or to install with --nodeps.
I think I'll wait for Microsoft to do the smart thing and push an
upgrade that goes back to plain old "libatomic" without the "1". If I
did the other thing, I'm not sure it would work. And I really, really
don't want to have to anable yet another repo to stay current with
another dependency. Thanks for the heads-up.
