[Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#327027: octave2.1: not installable in sid

[Laurent Bonnaud]

Package: octave2.1
Version: 2.1.71-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


Hi,

octave needs to be recompiled with g++ 4.0 and a newer libhdf5:

# apt-get install octave2.1
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  octave2.1: Depends: libhdf5-serial-1.6.4-0 but it is not installable or
                      libhdf5-1.6.4-0
