Hi, 
I would like to draw your attention to a problem that makes several packages 
unusable. 

Since the upgrade of hdf5 to version 1.10 there is an issue with the 
med-fichier library 
which is used for several packages including gmsh, code_saturne, code_aster. 

Actually med-fichier 3.xx do not support hdf5 format for version greater than 
1.8.xx. 
So the upgrade of hdf5 breaks all the packages that rely on med-fichier 
library. 
This is a big issue especially as hdf5 1.10 will be in the next stable debian 
version. 

One possible solution is to create a specific hdf5 1.8.xx package and to 
rebuild 
med-fichier and others using this package... but I guess this is too late to 
include this "new" package 
in Debian archive 


Best 
C
