Hi Gianfranco, Apologies for the duplicate message, but I forgot to Cc the bug and debian-science. > well, for sure I suggest you to subscribe to debian-devel mail list and to the package [1] at the bottom of the page. Done (although to the digest for debian-devel!) > you can also contact MIA team to know if the maintainers are really MIA, in that case the package will be orphaned and you will be able to take it over. Email sent > the problem actually is that the package is not building fine on amd64 and i386. > > "configure.ac:410: error: possibly undefined macro: LT_SYS_SYMBOL_USCORE > If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow. > See the Autoconf documentation.” I was able to reproduce this when building with pbuilder (just set it up). LT_SYS_SYMBOL_USCORE is defined in m4/ltdl.m4, which needs libltdl-dev to do so, so I added it to Build-Depends. I never actually installed libltdl-dev myself; it was pulled in by libtool as a recommended package, but it seems pbuilder/debootstrap only pulls in dependencies, which is how I managed to miss this dependency. > BTW you need to add libffi-dev to build-dependencies and enable it in configure script. Done (upstream’s configure.ac forces libffi to be configured and is apparently needed, even in this case, so don’t be alarmed by that being mentioned in the logs!) I have re-uploaded 5.5.2-1 to mentors. I have also forked debian-science/packages/polyml.git to http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/users/jrtc27-guest/polyml.git/ and pushed all my changes there. Thanks, James Clarke
