Package: maxima Version: 5.9.3-1.1 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
maxima -r ":lisp (start-server 9999)" opens a connection to the specified port, but sends nothing, not even the initial "pid =". This causes xmaxima being unable to use maxima, reporting (after some time) "Starting maxima timed out. Wait longer?". It might be some problem inherited by gcl, as recompiling with testing's (but not unstable) gcl on amd64 seems to solve this problem (but introduced similar errors which could be just a cloaked variant of this one), but my lisp knowledge is not enough to be sure... -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.17-2-686 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages maxima depends on: ii gnuplot-nox 4.0.0-5 A command-line driven interactive ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgmp3c2 2:4.2.1+dfsg-4 Multiprecision arithmetic library ii libncurses5 5.5-2 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libreadline5 5.1-7 GNU readline and history libraries ii libx11-6 2:1.0.0-8 X11 client-side library ii libxaw7 1:1.0.2-4 X11 Athena Widget library ii libxext6 1:1.0.1-2 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxmu6 1:1.0.2-2 X11 miscellaneous utility library ii libxt6 1:1.0.2-2 X11 toolkit intrinsics library Versions of packages maxima recommends: pn gv <none> (no description available) ii maxima-share 5.9.3-1.1 A computer algebra system -- extra -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
