Ahhhhh, yes, sure, I'm blaming my very bad memory. :-(

Unfortunately I have no idea how to fix old, unmaintained OCaml code.
Thus I include debian-ocaml-maint@lists.debian.org for potential
helpers. For its readers I shortly the situation: Shayan Doust took
the challenge and successfully ported an unmaintained patch for mcl
which provides OCaml support which is needed for the package pplacer.
I decided to deactivate the patch[1] since its not maintained upstream
any more. It would be really great if you could lend some helping hand
to upgrade the patch to mcl version 22-282. Unfortunately Salsa CI
does not contain the log of the failures any more but if it helps I
could easily create the errors in the build process.
Kind regards
Andreas.
