Hi David, The problem is that Sage patched libcdd and added features that are not included upstream [1]. The changes are actually not that big. The new features are in cdd_both_reps.c and the rest should be mostly a switch of the random number source to something deterministic, I guess to avoid problems with tests. If the changes were included upstream there wouldn't be a problem. I saw that you are mentioned on the libcdd homepage. Do you know Komei Fukuda? In that case maybe you could try to bring this to his attention? I had no luck with previous attempts contacting him about a soname policy for cddlib. Best, Tobias [1] http://git.sagemath.org/sage.git/tree/build/pkgs/cddlib/patches?h=develop PS: Also note this related bug: http://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/13026 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-science-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
