Re: cblas library abstraction

[Jörg-Volker Peetz <jvpeetz@web.de>]

Hi,

meanwhile, I've also filed a bug for package r-base-core which contains the
library /usr/lib/R/modules/lapack.so. This library is linked to libopenblas.so:

$ ldd /usr/lib/R/modules/lapack.so | grep blas
	libblas.so.3 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libblas.so.3 (0x00007f1772d7e000)
	libopenblas.so.0 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libopenblas.so.0 (0x00007f176f984000)

See https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=918525 .

And the package python-numpy also still contains a library linked to
libopenblas.so:
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/numpy/linalg/lapack_lite.x86_64-linux-gnu.so

Do you happen to know why package libopenblas-dev provides libopenblas.so?

Regards,
Jörg.
