Dear all,

I'd like to use the motor record (for the first time :-) with a Newport
AG_UC controller. For this, I installed a mrecent base (3.15.3), the latest
motor record (6.9), asyn (4.28), seq (2.2.3) and a couple of other
dependencies.
Motor itself appears to compile cleanly, but I cannot get the examples to
work. I get the following error message when building the WithAsyn parts:

---
dbdExpand.pl: Duplicate definition of record type ''

may need this dependency rule: $(COMMON_DIR)/WithAsyn.dbd:

In the release notes of the sequencer I find

---
Removed devSequencer
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The (broken and ugly) sequencer device support was removed.
Consequently, seqFindProgByName was be removed as it is no longer needed.
---

What is the recommended solution here? Use an older version of the
sequencer (that still comes with devSequencer)? Or is this only needed for
PI_GCS2 devices, so I could leave these out (as I only need support for
ag_uc)?
