Package: scalapack Severity: minor Greetings,
The libscalapack-mpi1 library depends on libatlas3gf-base, which messes up the build of elmerfem, and possibly other packages. ScaLAPACK does not Build-Depend on ATLAS, so it is possible to build it without ATLAS installed. (I just tested such a build, and it works well.) Please do such a build without ATLAS installed to remove that dependency and allow Elmer to link to ScaLAPACK. It might also be beneficial to add "Build-Conflicts: libatlas-dev libatlas3gf-base". Note: at install time, one can use the ATLAS libraries to substitute for BLAS and LAPACK in order to gain the performance benefit. Indeed, the build I did left libscalapack-mpi1 with: Depends: mpi-default-bin, libblacs-mpi1, libblas3gf | libblas.so.3gf | libatlas3gf-base, libc6 (>= 2.3), libgfortran3 (>= 4.3), liblapack3gf | liblapack.so.3gf | libatlas3gf-base, libopenmpi1.3 But if one does so at build time, it locks in ATLAS as the *only* library which can provide BLAS and LAPACK functions (see the 1.8.0-6 amd64 package). -Adam -- GPG fingerprint: D54D 1AEE B11C CE9B A02B C5DD 526F 01E8 564E E4B6 Engineering consulting with open source tools http://www.opennovation.com/
