Hi Rafael, thanks for the forthcoming fix to the problem. About the severity, I appreciate you need to get the new version across to testing but I don't think I could justify it with this bug. It's absolutely and completely disruptive to those who do use the load facility (I'm one of these people of course). A colleague asked me to recalculate the surface dispersion forces coefficients on alumina surface. I run my script - the coefficients all come out zero because of this bug, because the data files were not read in correctly. Not good! The only workaround I could apply was to regress the version back to the one in testing. If you let this broken version into testing then even that fallback will be lost! Could a 1:3.0.4~rc7-2 version, with the 3.0.5 patch applied, be made instead? Drew -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
