I'm sorry but I don't see what library changed SONAME. Can you explain that?

I don't see ovito depending on tachyon. It build depends on it, but it doesn't
seem to depend on any of tachyon's packages. Can you say what exactly depends on
what?

What seems to be blocking this is a block hint from Niels.

$ grep-excuses tachyon
tachyon (0.99~b2+dfsg-0.4 to 0.99~b6+dsx-2)
    Maintainer: Debian Science Maintainers
    Too young, only 1 of 5 days old
    Not touching package due to block request by nthykier (check
https://release.debian.org/jessie/freeze_policy.html if update is needed)
    Not considered

Cheers,
Emilio
