Please note that I have now uploaded the update to mentors: https://mentors.debian.net/package/siconos/ The upload is seeking sponsorship. I fixed one mistake (wrong bug number) since the message quoted above, as well as added one build dep on python3-numpy to silence a lintian error. Previously it only had python3-numpy-dev, which I thought was sufficient. However, there remains a single Lintian error (missing-dependency-on-numpy-abi) that I cannot fix, since as far as I can tell by manual inspection of the .deb the required dependency is included. This is noted in the comments on mentors. Any help with this would be welcome. Note that I only see this error on mentors. Locally, I cannot figure out what arguments I need to give Lintian to see the same error on my system. For instance "lintian -T missing-dependency-on-numpy-abi python3-siconos*" outputs nothing. In the meantime I have been working on packaging the upstream release 4.5.0, almost there but it still takes some work. I will contribute some changes upstream shortly after, as there are some problems with the build that I was able to address with patches. kind regards, Steve
