Package: libcore-ocaml-dev
Version: 0.6.0-2+3.12.0+1
Severity: minor


META file doesn't specify that core should be used only with threads. There is indeed a dependency on threads in the following declaration in the META file:

requires = "bigarray, unix, res, sexplib, bin_prot, threads, fieldslib"

But the 'archive' statements should probably require the 'mt' tag. And throwing an error in the absence of threads.

However, this is a subotpimal situation, as there are many declarations and interfaces that one would wish to use even in the absence of threads. A much better situation would be to have a non-multithreaded version of core, that would, for example, not include the Timer module (that requires the Condition module and hence threads). Not sure however if this is a Debian issue or an upstream issue.
