Dear PLplot developers,
I am hereby forwarding a bug report filed against the Debian plplot
package regarding the use of a deprecated Qhull library [1]. Conversion
of the code to the reentrant version of Qhull needs more changes than
merely linking against libqhull_r.so instead of libqhull.so and including
libqull_r/qhull_ra.h instead of libqull/qhull_a.h [2], and should be
done by the upstream authors.
Best,
Rafael Laboissière

Dear Maintainer,
your package builds and links against the non-reentrant version of
Qhull, which has been deprecated by Qhull upstream and is likely to
disappear soon.
This bug is not release-critical for Bullseye, but you can expect the
severity to raise eventually when Qhull stops shipping with the
non-reentrant library.
You can verify that your binary package links against the correct
library if it no longer depends on libqhull8.0 but libqhull-r8.0
instead.
Cheers
Timo
