Package: yacas Version: 1.0.57-2.2 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
I just tried some of the examples from the yacas-doc package, and none of them worked as advertized: " [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ yacas yacasinit.ys(1) : File not found True; This is Yacas version '1.0.57'.

Anyway, since nothing seems to be working as advertized in the documentation, I'm filing this as grave.
