Package: libhdf5-7
Version: 1.8.8-9
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
after updating to wheezy, the runtime lib libhdf5-serial-1.8.4_1.8.4-patch1-2
was missing. Programs compiled in squeeze didn't work anymore -- libhdf5.so.6:
cannot open. An attempt to recompile them (with C++) failed -- H5Cpp.h: No such
file or directory.
Analysis:
(1) libhdf5-7_1.8.8-9 (wheezy) conflicts with
libhdf5-serial-1.8.4_1.8.4-patch1-2.
This is a known problem, see #703340.
(2) libhdf5-dev_1.8.8-9 (wheezy) has broken C++ binding. This is also known,
see #660539 #660547 .
Bug (1) prevents downgrading to libhdf5-serial-dev_1.8.4-patch1-2 (squeeze),
as this removes the runtime lib from wheezy and prohibits updated versions of
several important applications (e.g. scilab, grace). This makes hdf5 in wheezy
unusable for C++ programmers, AFAIK. This is a serious regression, hence the
severity of the bug.
Workaround:
There is an updated version (1.8.8-9.1) of the hdf5 suite in unstable, which
addresses problem (1). After downloading the binary packages to a local
repository and putting a hold on libhdf5-serial-dev (in squeeze), the dist
upgrade had the dev packages at squeeze level and installed all runtime libs in
parallel.
Conclusion:
(a) Please allow hdf5_1.8.8-9.1 into the release of wheezy. It seems to improve
the situation in at least one important place.
If this cannot be done for some reason, I suggest to
(b) place hdf5_1.8.8-9.1 in wheezy-proposed-updates to make it easily available
for those who know what they need.
