Package: hdf5
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Hello,

It is just a wishlist bug.

Some applications are distributed under a binary form with all thirdparty
dependencies included into their distributions with specific version.
However, even on old Debian, this hdf5 triggers a dependency on the glibc2.7 which
can cause problems on old releases of Linux.
This has been reported here:
http://bugzilla.scilab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7970

I have been able to fix this issue with the attached patch.

Could you consider its inclusion ?

Thanks,
Sylvestre
