    "Inconsistent naming of one Lapack subroutine", where I advocated
    renaming LAPACKungqr_ --> LAPACKorgqr_. But that thread did not end
    up in any modification...

    Are you saying that the check succeeds but the routines is still
    missing?

    I don't know the exact reason, but it has to do with the names of
    real/complex subroutines. I guess the test is checking for dungqr,
    which does not exist - it should check for either dorgqr or zungqr.
    Before that commit, there were only checks for "real" names, but
    after the commit there are a mix of real and complex subroutines.


Now I really want to punch one of the LAPACK guys in the face. Which one...

Karl, I think it is enough right now to change the complex names, like ungqr to orgqr as Jose suggests. Will this work for you?

works for me, yes.
If possible, I'd like to preserve the auto-generated nature of this list. If 'dungqr' is the only exception, then please adjust the list of tests accordingly *and* add a comment to BlasLapack.py saying why 'dungqr' is special.

Best regards,
Karli
