Package: scilab Version: 5.3.3-10 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, There is a dependency somewhere that is not set properly: upon installing scilab 5.3.3-10 some functions ceased to work, in particular the connexion to the ATOMS server. Something similar has been reported to me on the scilab newsgroup for versions 5.3.3 and 5.4.0 on Ubuntu; I suspect the issue is the same as I was able to reproduce it with 5.3.3-10 and 5.3.3-8 on Debian. (on 5.3.3-8 a few things, including ATOMS and SCICOS,failed silently; on 5.3.3-10 there was a java- related error message that I unfortunately forgot to save). An upgrade some of the java stack fixed it; here is the complete list:

It would be nice if it was added to the dependancies, as that confuses some users.
