Before adding more work on our (qt-kde) side, can you please ping again the scilab maintainers (Julien Puydt in particular), and wait a couple of days for an answer? > Since a fix for scilab is not forthcoming, we need a different solution > to allow hdf5 to migrate to testing.

No, the next best thing is what I wrote earlier, i.e. drop the scilab backend from cantor. I don't see a reason to drop cantor from testing altogether just because one part of it might not be usable because of other packages. -- Pino Toscano signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

To quote the linked post in the hdf5 transition bugreport: " Basically we could remove cdo, ruby-hdfeos5 (or wait for it to be a candidate but I would remove it now to finish this) and scilab. Unfortunately after checking with dak, I found that tasksel depends on meta-kde, which depends on cantor, which depends on scilab, which means that scilab is going to need a fix for #955694 in order for this transition to finish. " Since a fix for scilab is not forthcoming, we need a different solution to allow hdf5 to migrate to testing. The next best thing is for meta-kde to not Depends on cantor which won't make it nor its dependencies like scilab a key package. Please reconsider applying the patch, the hdf5 transition is blocking several others. cantor only has 214 votes in popcon, and scilab only has 175, so they are not considered key packages by themselves.

First of all, there are no bug reports against cantor, so knowing about it would be a nice thing. Second, it seems like the actual problem is scilab that FTBFS on amd64 (#955694). Cantor is definitely *not* RC buggy. So please contact the scilab maintainers about this, and let them fix it if possible. If not, then we can (temporarly?) drop the scilab backend from cantor, with no need to drop it from the kdeedu metapackage.
