Bug#564422: Updates
Hi,
I have updated the debian science repo. The package now builds (although the png dependencies are not quite handled correctly, and cause multiple calls to mathgl_example.).
At any rate, the package builds so as far as I am concerned my work is done. Can someone else touch up the package and take maintenance of it?
Notes:
* texinfo is throwing utf8 errors if I try to build the _ru documentation. I have disabled this for now.
* Upstream have committed changes to their repositories to solve the ldflags problem (see bug #555592).
* I have not made the package lintian clean.
Thanks.
