Basically, if the sources are OK, you just need to do - fakeroot dpkg-source -x name_of_dsc_file - cd name_of_package - fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage And that's it > I was able to fix some of these issues by simply downgrading ATLAS to > not use sse instructions anymore. > > But f2py still links with sse and sse2 by default.

After, the dynamic loader will get the right one (ie optimized if available) instead of the one linked (this of course only works for dynamic linking). You can check which library is picked with a ldconfig - p | grep lapack (for lapack functions, and so on...)
