Public bug reported: scilab 6.1.1+dfsg2-3 was uploaded on Nov 11 2021 and has failed to build ever since

I made a patch that allow scilab to build and I tested from my ppa. This patch simply rename the function to scipause. This doesn't feel very elegant and there might be a better solution. I'll leave it up to more experience folks to decide if this needs rework :) ** Affects: scilab (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1969227 Title: scilab 6.1.1+dfsg2-3 fail to build To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/scilab/+bug/1969227/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
