Belay that. metis has a non-free licence, so we can't build against it without relegating mumps to contrib instead of the main archive. It'll be easy for you to activate metis support yourself with a local build. For instance you could grab the experimental branch from the debian git repo https://anonscm.debian.org/git/debian-science/packages/mumps.git metis support was temporarily in place at commit 8d3d2aceffe4f90b35957cb98ace1c4370a69456 Drew -- debian-science-maintainers mailing list debian-science-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/debian-science-maintainers
