Letrero Formation
The Letrero Formation is a Late Miocene (Mayoan to Montehermosan in the SALMA classification) geologic formation in south-central Ecuador. The formation comprises lacustrine sediments with strong fluvial clastic input and contains siltstones and fine-grained sandstones.[1]

gollark: I should probably ask on r/archlinux or something.
gollark: I would suspect it being a distro thing, but I have multiMC installed from the AUR and recompiling it didn't help.

gollark: I checked, I have more but they all break.
gollark: I only have something like three installed as far as I know, and they're all broken.
