--- Begin Message ---Package: mpfr Severity: grave Howdy Laurent, My CGAL software no longer runs, since it uses mpfr and libmpfr relies on an internal symbol __gmp_rand. In 4.1.4 this was a function and therefore a symbol in libgmp. In 4.2, it is a #define and thus no symbol. I'm of two minds on this one. On one hand you might argue that GMP should change SOVERSION since it has indeed changed interface. On the other hand, __gmp_rand was never an advertised API. I'm guessing that MPFR cheats by using gmp-impl.h to get at it. Is there any chance that MPFR can be adapted to use only the published external API of GMP? For the record, here's a test program. Compile with 4.1.4 installed, then switch to 4.2 and you'll get a run-time link error.
