After installing the 'C/C++' extension from Anysphere, 'PlatformIO IDE' is not activated

That work arround has gone, I think because the latest version from yesterday.
I work on Ubuntu updated everything but still have the problem.

Cannot activate the ‘PlatformIO IDE’ extension because it depends on the ‘C/C++’ extension from ‘Anysphere’, which is not installed. Would you like to install the extension and reload the window?

Ok got solution:
open /home/■■■/.cursor/extensions/platformio.platformio-ide-3.3.4-linux-x64/package.json

search for “extensionDependencies”

change to “extensionPack”

should look like that:

	"webpack-cli": "~6.0.1"
	},
	"extensionPack": [
		"ms-vscode.cpptools"
	],
	"__metadata": {

have fun
