[Pkg-scicomp-devel] Bug#576972: libatlas3gf-base: octave does not work with this version

[Francesco Potortì]

Package: libatlas3gf-base
Version: 
Severity: grave

Octave works with 3.6.0-24, but fails with 3.8.3-18 and 3.8.3-19.
During the installation I get:

dpkg -i /tmp/libatlas3gf-base_3.8.3-19_amd64.deb
(Reading database ... 422952 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace libatlas3gf-base 3.8.3-18 (using .../libatlas3gf-base_3.8.3-19_amd64.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement libatlas3gf-base ...
Setting up libatlas3gf-base (3.8.3-19) ...
update-alternatives: warning: forcing reinstallation of alternative /usr/lib/atlas-base/atlas/libblas.so.3gf  because link group libblas.so.3gf is broken.

This happens for both -18 and -19, and even if I repeat the
installation.  Octave fails as soon as a matrix inversion is requested
with:

/usr/bin/octave: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/liblapack.so.3gf: undefined symbol: ATL_idamax
