Hi all, I am not an expert in Debian packaging, nor in Code_Aster developement, nor in Code_Aster compilation.
This said, I however am a Code_Aster user, and regular Code_Aster forum reader Thus I would like to point out this thread[1] indicating that it is (in this case) preferable to compile Code_Aster with metis, instead of metis-edf. It may give you some background concerning the importance to have metis-edf packaged with Code-Aster... Maybe the best thing to do: - trying to compile Code-Aster with metis-edf and seeing how many test cases fail - trying to compile Code-Aster with metis and seeing how many test cases fail I wouldn't be surprised if there was no differences... The chances that I do not understand what I am saying are important though...
