severity 979010 serious
thanks

Hi Vincent,

I see you haven't done any further packaging of libqalculate since June
2019, and the qalculate v3 is stuck in experimental.

Could you please let us know what are your plans with qalculate?

I have raised the severity, since we are close to freeze and the bug
affects other packages and make them crash under the default setup.

Can I make an NMU with the changes below?

Thanks for your consideration and answer

Norbert
