Ahhhhh, yes, sure, I'm blaming my very bad memory. :-( > We need to fix this before the cruft removal happens. Unfortunately I have no idea how to fix old, unmaintained OCaml code. Thus I include debian-ocaml-ma...@lists.debian.org for potential helpers. For its readers I shortly the situation: Shayan Doust took the challenge and successfully ported an unmaintained patch for mcl which provides OCaml support which is needed for the package pplacer. I decided to deactivate the patch[1] since its not maintained upstream any more. It would be really great if you could lend some helping hand to upgrade the patch to mcl version 22-282. Unfortunately Salsa CI does not contain the log of the failures any more but if it helps I could easily create the errors in the build process.
