Hi John,

I'm no Sculpt expert and probably you will receive more comprehensive
answer later but:

This number seems to come from repos/gems/run/sculpt.run. There was no
published Sculpt release with that revision and according to news
section on genode.org the last one was 20.08.

genodelabs depot index files are at
https://depot.genode.org/genodelabs/index/ and there's no index file for
version 20.09.

You can try to change version number in sculpt.run and maybe you will
have luck that it will work but I would assume that Christian Helmut did
not made this change by accident and there are some incompatibilities
introduced.

I think that if you really want latest version you may have to compile
software by yourself.

I hope this will help you.
