Package: sear
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Mostly it's depending on obsolete library packages; most of this would
be fixed by a rebuild, but not all since some transitions are involved.

Here are the Build-Dep changes which I think are needed:
* xlibmesa-dev | libgl-dev ->
    xlibmesa-gl-dev | libgl-dev, libglu1-xorg-dev | libglu-dev
* liberis-1.2-dev -> liberis-1.3-dev
* libatlas-cpp-0.5-dev -> libatlas-cpp-0.6-dev
* libcal3d10-dev -> libcal3d11-dev

Obviously some of these may require source code changes.

In addition, versioned build-deps should be bumped up for:
* libwfmath-0.3-dev
* libvarconf-dev
* libmercator-0.2-dev
to guarantee that it will get the c2a versions.  (Of course, mercator
must have its c2a version uploaded first.)

Also take a look at the Ubuntu patch linked from the PTS.  It looks
like there may be a missing Build-Dependency on libsvga1-dev [i386].

In addition (sigh), it looks like sear is one of the packages suffering
from recursive library dependency disease, of the sort noted at
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2005/11/msg00016.html.

Please do your best to relibtoolize or whatever is needed to wipe out
the recursive dependencies.  Sear should probably not be getting
dependencies on libtiff4, libogg0, and so forth; they are properly depended
on by the sdl packages.
