2021-08-26 Thread Julien Puydt
Package: ocaml Version: 4.11.1-4 a part of scilab (modelica) is written in OCaml, but needs the -unsafe- string switch ; unfortunately: /usr/bin/ocaml: OCaml has been configured with -force-safe-string: - unsafe-string is not available. Can you please re-enable unsafe strings? Thanks, J.Puydt
