Hallo Dirk, there is a license problem with pgapack. Details are in Bug#379388. I sent an email to Mr Rusty Lusk from MCS at anl.gov. with copy to Bug#379388 but I did not receive a reply. The next thing I intended to do is to sent a paper mail, explaining to them the importance of the Debian Project to make software like pgapack usable for a longer time. Without the adaptions made by the Debian Project pgapack cannot compile on current Linux systems and the problem is too difficult to solve for most users. So, most people interested in using pgapack could not do it. Since I am very busy with work right now and you seem to be interested in pgapack I would like you very much to take pgapack and deal with this license issue.
