------------------------+---------------------------
 It is not possible to install QGIS 3.14 (3.14.0-1) via the OSGeo4W network
 installer nor via the standalone installer (QGIS-OSGeo4W-3.14.0-1).

 In the former case, during the installation procedure there is a
 crssync.exe system error about libprotobuf-lite.dll missing and the
 installation procedure aborts.
 In the latter, after the installation, QGIS doesn't start:

 {{{
 Error loading QGIS - Could not load qgis_app.dll
 }}}
 In this case, installing protobuf via OSGeo4W setup lead to correctly run
 QGIS.

 I think this could be fixed adding protobuf among the dependencies of the
 qgis package, while now is missing:
