The package installs fine, it is only a dependency not listed that should be listed, to mgltools-geomutils, if I am not erroneous. So that should be installed manually. This is long fixed in the packaging svn, just there was no reupload with the latest version of the mgltools performed, yet. >> >> People doing computational chemistry can't keep updated with the >> latest amd64 because fundamental, non-graphical, number-crunching >> parallelized codes would not run.

Now, I I have again to renounce to autodock. I fail to understand what you mean, here. Being swamped with things to do, I had hoped for a new official release of the mgltools against which to synchronise rather than against the svn. But with users of the package now surfacing, I should indeed prepare an upload now. Please expect it over the weekend.
