Sorry, the opam backports are lagging as the final patch in 4.04.2 changed
a little bit.  However, the upgrade to 4.04.2 should have zero side effects
in practise for a source installation via OPAM, so please do let me know
if you run into any difficulty upgrading from 4.04.0/1 to 4.04.2.

TL;DR do `opam update && opam switch 4.04.2` for now.

regards,
Anil
