Package: libastro-fits-cfitsio-perl Version: 1.04-1 Severity: important I'm not sure if this should be severity 'serious'.
The README of libastro-fits-cfitsio-perl 1.04 states that Astro::FITS::CFITSIO version 1.04 requires at least cfitsio v3.006 but we only have v2.510. According to the libastro-fits-cfitsio-perl 'announce' file: The major change in this version of the module is a synchronization with cfitsio version 3.006, including implementation of functions accepting 64-bit integer and signed byte arguments. The build-time test cases currently fail because of unresolved symbols: Can't load 'blib/arch/auto/Astro/FITS/CFITSIO/CFITSIO.so' for module Astro::FITS::CFITSIO: blib/arch/auto/Astro/FITS/CFITSIO/CFITSIO.so: undefined symbol: ffgpxvll at /usr/lib/perl/5.8/DynaLoader.pm line 225. This can be seen on the buildd logs. The 'make test' command is non-critical, so the builds are not failing. The cfitsio API seems to have remained stable enough that the libastro-fits-cfitsio-perl test cases succeed when run with PERL_DL_NONLAZY=0 (don't hunt for missing symbols.) The only reverse dependency of libastro-fits-cfitsio-perl is libastro-fits-header-perl. Its tests exhibit the same behaviour: a normal (PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1) run generates an error that is skipped, but a test run with PERL_DL_NONLAZY=0 succeeds. Therefore I'm leaving this at 'important'. Version 3.006 of the cfitsio library was released in February, and a wishlist bug for getting it into Debian (#369557) has been open for 12 days.
