Hi,

During a rebuild of all packages in sid, your package failed to build on
amd64.

Relevant part:
> g++ -c -I../../libsrc/include -I../../occ/inc  -O2 -I/usr/include/GL -I/usr/include/tcl8.4 -I/usr/include/tk8.4 -I/usr/X11R6/include  -DLINUX -DOPENGL -DNGSOLVE  -fPIC -DPIC vssolution.cpp -o vssolution.lo
> vssolution.cpp: In function 'int netgen::Ng_Vis_Set(void*, Tcl_Interp*, int, const char**)':
> vssolution.cpp:2828: error: invalid conversion from 'const char*' to 'char*'
> make[3]: *** [vssolution.lo] Error 1

About the archive rebuild: The rebuild was done on about 50 AMD64 nodes
of the Grid'5000 platform, using a clean chroot.  Internet was not
accessible from the build systems.
