Hi, for scilab-ann, I tried to reproduce and got the following: - first a heterogeneous string ; - then the version test is bogus : it does check the main digit but the second, so 6.0.0 appears older than 5.3 ; - finally I get complaints "tbx_build_cleaner(name, path) is obsolete. Please use tbx_build_cleaner(path) instead." and again a prompt, but it looks like if I quit (twice), things finish.
So I would say the scilab package isn't the problem : scilab-ann just looks like it's not compatible anymore. Snark on #debian-science
