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

[François Mazen <francois@mzf.fr>]

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
