Bug#988474: [Fwd: Bug#988474: RFS: freefem++/3.61.1+dfsg1-5.2 [NMU] [RC] -- Provides the binaries of the FreeFem++ FE suite]

You are right. piparts was trying to install the current version

in unstable to test the migration. But it failed, because version

in unstalbe is uninstallable.

I have uploaded the package, but pay attention, i have changed

the version number to freefem++_3.61.1+dfsg1-6.

When the package is successfully built on all relevant platforms,

you can ask the release team to unblock it. But it will unlikely happen

due to release policy.

Anyway, we will have also an opportunity to put freefem++ insto bullseye-backports,

but you can start to work on a newer version at least on salsa.

Regards

Anton

Hello Anton,

thanks for your time testing my upload!

Apparently, piuparts tries to install the package 3.61.1+dfsg1-5.1
instead of 3.61.1+dfsg1-5.2, why?

In the old package 3.61.1+dfsg1-5.1, the control file contains
libmumps-seq-5.3.1 as libfreefem++ dependency which does not exist
anymore in sid. The control file of the build package (3.61.1+dfsg1-
5.2) indicates libmumps-seq-5.3, which exists in sid.

The problem is not new [1] and it appears since the version 5.3.4 of
mumps. In the mumps changelog [2], we can read:

> MUMPS is now ABI-compatible in the minor version.
> Provide new packages as libmumps-5.3, etc instead of libmumps-5.3.4

I think that rebuilding the package and using puipart with the
3.61.1+dfsg1-5.2 should be fine.

Let me know if I'm missing something.

Best,
François
