[Pkg-scicomp-devel] Bug#576855: atlas: should conflict with libblas3gf(<1.2-6) and liblapack3gf(3.2.1-5)

[Denis Laxalde]

Package: atlas
Version: 3.8.3-19
Severity: normal

Hi,

First of all, thank you very much for your work with atlas packages !

It seems that the alternative mechanism fails when old libblas3gf(1.2-4) 
and liblapack3gf(3.2.1-2) are installed (e.g. /usr/lib/liblapack.so.3gf 
still points to liblapack.so.3gf.0 in /usr/lib despite 
libatlas3gf-*(3.8.3.19) is installed).
I would hence suggest that conflicts (or some equivalent procedure) with
these old versions of libblas and liblapack be added in order to make
the transition easier.

Cheers,

Denis
