Fwiw, this is unlikely to be fixed upstream. The last release was in 2008, and the package was officially deprecated in 2012, in favor of a replacement from the same author, xraylarch: http://cars.uchicago.edu/xraylarch/
The author describes the latter as "a complete set of XAFS Analysis tools (replacing all of the Ifeffit package)", and unlike Ifeffit, it's maintained and builds against recent libraries. It isn't currently in Debian, however. -Mark -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
