Bug#826069: libghemical5v5: breaks color rendering and atom generation in ghemical
Hello: I think that I have found the origin of this bug. It is in the liboglappth2 package. This package has only one reverse dependency, that is ghemical. The package has remained the same (MD5 sum) since at least wheezy and something in the compilation dependencies has changed so that it breaks ghemical. This bug should probably be redirected to the liboglappth2 package. All that is needed to close this bug is to recompile the liboglappth source package. Carlo -- Carlo U.

Bug#826069: libghemical5v5: breaks color rendering and atom generation in ghemical
Control: severity -1 important Has anyone else confirmed this bug report? I saw the greyscale issue on two different amd64 machines. I was able to add atoms to a molecule, but they didn't appear where I expected them. That could just be me not being familiar with the interface. It occurred to me later that both machines I tested on had Nvidia graphics cards and used the non-free driver. I then tried on an i386 netbook with integrated Intel graphics. At first I ran into #567600, but after rebooting after installing the packages suggested in that bug, ghemical worked in full colour. I'm therefore downgrading the severity of this bug. I also think it may be easier to find if it were reassigned against ghemical.

Hrm Kalzium depends on libavogadro anyway, but I think there is some non-overlapping functionality between the two. Ghemical has been unmaintained upstream for many years, and the only thing it has going for it is direct quantum chemistry computations via libsc (from mpqc); however, those are really very simple. Avogadro has a much better GUI and support for geometry optimizations via force fields as well; and can read/write output/input of severl quantum chemistry packages in Debian; you'd have to run the computation yourself, though. Also, bkchem might be a better choice than chemtool at this point, although none of the 2d drawing packages is really heavily maintained right now. Michael

According to 'apt-cache rdepends ghemical', it is part of several metapackages, among them education-chemistry. I do not know anything more about it. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen

Maybe we can discuss alternatives in this case? Michael

This RC bug will cause ghemical to be removed from Stretch in a few days. Is there any hope for a fix in time to rescue it? -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen

Package: libghemical5v5 Version: 3.0.0-4.1+b2 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable When installed from sid, ghemical will only render in greyscale instead of color. In addition, building a molecule atom-by-atom is not functional. In order to get ghemical working again, I have to revert to the wheezy version as there is no version available in jessie. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.5.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages libghemical5v5 depends on: ii libblas3 [libblas.so.3] 3.6.0-2 ii libc62.22-9 ii libgcc1 1:6.1.1-4 ii libghemical-data 3.0.0-4.1 ii liblapack3 [liblapack.so.3] 3.6.0-2 ii libmopac7-1gf1.15-6 ii libopenmpi1.10 1.10.2-14 ii libsc7v5 2.3.1-16.1+b1 ii libstdc++6 6.1.1-4 libghemical5v5 recommends no packages. libghemical5v5 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
