Hi, I've noted that the new versions of the NumPy packages are now depending on libatlas3-base besides libblas3 | libblas.so.3 and liblapack3 | liblapack.so.3. According to the maintainer Sandro Tosi this is due to the need of a cblas library. As far as I understand, also openblas, BLIS, and GNU GSL (libgslcblas0) provide a cblas API. Would it make sense to have extra package(s) or "Provides" in order to get rid of a dependency on a special/additional package like libatlas3-base?
Regards, Jörg.
