Thanks for the clarification, Steve. I have not noticed that another library transition was in the way of the suitesparse transition. I think we will have to upload new octave & friends packages depending on libhdf5-*-1.6.6-0. The web of dependencies around the suitesparse transition was already quite complex and now hdf5 comes into play which, by the way, has FTBFS on arm, armel, hppa, mpis, and mpisel. It seems these arches are waiting for openmpi, which has also FTBFS on them (besides s390). I hope we will get octave3.0 in lenny before the release... -- Rafael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
