Package: scilab Version: 5.5.2-1 Severity: normal While scilab is available on ppc64el, it doesn't actually work: > $ /usr/bin/scilab > Could not find the Java configuration for the model <ppc64le>. Please contact > us on http://bugzilla.scilab.org > /usr/bin/scilab-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libjava.so: cannot > open shared object file: No such file or directory
