Bug#826192: libmath-gsl-perl: FTBFS with GSL 2

[Niko Tyni]

Package: libmath-gsl-perl
Version: 0.36-1
Severity: serious
Forwarded: https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=108378

This package build depends on libgsl0-dev, which is currently in
sid/amd64 both a real package from src:gsl=1.16+dfsg-4 and a virtual
package provided by libgsl-dev from src:gsl=2.1+dfsg-2. It looks like
the former is just cruft that's been superseded. On architectures where
older gsl isn't around anymore, the package fails to build with

  xs/BSpline_wrap.1.16.c: In function '_wrap_gsl_bspline_deriv_eval':
  xs/BSpline_wrap.1.16.c:3277:19: error: too many arguments to function 'gsl_bspline_deriv_eval'
       result = (int)gsl_bspline_deriv_eval(arg1,arg2,arg3,arg4,arg5);

which can also be reproduced by building with an added dependency on
libgsl-dev.

This is blocking testing migration:

  Impossible dependency: libmath-gsl-perl -> gsl/amd64

so filing at 'serious'.
