Bug#826069: libghemical5v5: breaks color rendering and atom generation in ghemical

2019-01-04 Thread Carlo Segre



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.

Bug#826069: libghemical5v5: breaks color rendering and atom generation in ghemical

2017-01-25 Thread Graham Inggs

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.

Unless there is a "no Qt" policy, I strongly advise to replace ghemical
with avogadro. 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.

Right.  Unless that changes, I guess it will not make it to Stretch.

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

Well, any help is welcome, but at least I haven't had time to look at
it.

Do you need ghemical as part of debian-edu or something?  Maybe we can
discuss alternatives in this case?

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?

Bug#826069: libghemical5v5: breaks color rendering and atom generation in ghemical

2016-06-01 Thread Carlo Segre
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.
