Ok, I've confirmed that the same values are being passed in to both versions of lapack from Octave, one calls the internal error handler and one does not. This is due to a fix in lapack that the norm of any matrix containing a NaN is now NaN. This confirms that the new behavior is correct and it should be erroring out. Therefore (1) in my comment #14 is not a bug.
So the remaining bug is that Octave is no longer able to handle lapack errors due to a change in how the lapack package is built on Ubuntu. I'll rename this appropriately and follow up to see if anything can be done in either Octave or lapack or both. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1156575 Title: octave crashes or exits when lapack error handler xerbla is called To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/octave/+bug/1156575/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
