[Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#567962: needs to be rebuilt against libhdf5-1.8.4

[Bas Zoetekouw <bas@debian.org>]

Hi!

Actually, on further inspection, it seems that there is no need at all
to link against libhdf (and zlib, and libfftw3, and libcurses5, etc).
The package itself doesn't use these symbols, so it shouldn't be linked
against them.
This seems to be an issue for all octave packages, BTW.
