Package: gap
Version: 4r8p3-2
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
the Sage[Math] [1] gap interface currently fails to invoke help (?
Whatever)
when the involved manual.six file is compressed and has the default
format:
a closer look shows that the very first character is eatean, hence the
failure.
Removing the patch debian/patches/fix-compressed-six-files fixes the
issue,
while its seems to not affect GAP itself. Unfortunately, I have not yet
figured a simple way not involing Sage[Math] doctests to reproduce the
issue.
Please consider to discard this patch in order to render Sage[Math]
ready
before the freeze.
Thanks in advance,
Jerome
