I gather at some point Debian had Symmetrica 1.0 (?) - cf. "Conflicts: libsymmetrica-dev" below, and now they have 2.0: $ apt-cache show libsymmetrica2-dev Package: libsymmetrica2-dev Source: symmetrica Version: 2.0+ds-6 Installed-Size: 20851 Maintainer: Debian Science Maintainers <debian-science-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org> Architecture: amd64 Provides: libsymmetrica-dev Depends: libsymmetrica2 (= 2.0+ds-6) Suggests: symmetrica-doc Conflicts: libsymmetrica-dev Description-en: Symmetrica Combinatoric C Library -- development package Symmetrica is a library for combinatorics. It has support for the representation theory of the symmetric group and related groups, combinatorics of tableaux, symmetric functions and polynomials, Schubert polynomials, and the representation theory of Hecke algebras of type A_n. . This package contains the header files, static libraries and symbolic links that developers using the Symmetrica Combinatoric C Library will need.
