Package: libopenblas-base,libatlas3-base Severity: important Dear Maintainers,
When one installs both libopenblas-base and libatlas3-base, the BLAS and LAPACK alternatives become the following: libblas.so.3 - auto mode link currently points to /usr/lib/openblas-base/libopenblas.so.0 liblapack.so.3 - auto mode link currently points to /usr/lib/atlas-base/atlas/liblapack.so.3 The problem is that the LAPACK alternative points to ATLAS's LAPACK and not to Netlib's LAPACK. This causes crashes because ATLAS's LAPACK internally uses symbols which are only provided by ATLAS's BLAS and not by OpenBlas. One gets errors like: octave: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/liblapack.so.3gf: undefined symbol: ATL_dGetNB A possible solution to this problem would be to have libopenblas-base provide an alternative for LAPACK pointing to Netlib's LAPACK and of higher priority than ATLAS's. The drawback is that it would require a dependency of libopenblas-base over liblapack3... -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
