Package: lapack
Version: unavailable; reported 2003-10-28
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Hi,
when installing lapack I got the following message:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
One or more critical lapack library errors were discovered when this
package was built. As of the time of this writing, all known such
errors are due to compiler and/or ld.so errors on the affected
architectures. The lapack libraries in this set of packages then,
while practically useless for serious numerical research, are provided
here nonetheless to facilitate smooth upgrades of lapack into Debian
as a whole.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So by its own claims this package is absolutely unusable. It also
breaks anything that uses those broken libraries (hence "renders
package unusable"). It also breaks the buildds by claiming to fullfill
the Build-Depends of other packages. This means that packages will be
build against non functional libraries or hopefully fail to build.
Thats a big waste of resources.
There are better ways to get your package into testing without
creating useless packages.
MfG
Goswin
