Research direction

Start with /usr/bin/owut and the failing load of /usr/lib/ucode/uloop.so, then compare the installed owut and ucode-mod-uloop package versions and dependencies. Confirm which package provides the missing symbol and verify that owut -V starts successfully after compatible packages are installed.
