[Pkg-scicomp-devel] Bug#548539: libatlas-dev: Conflict with libblas-dev

[Ryo IGARASHI]

Package: libatlas-dev
Version: 3.8.3-2
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 7.3


Hi,

New libatlas-dev 3.8.3-2 fails to install with following error.
Conflicts: libblas-dev solves the problem but this should not be the option,
since people often checks their result between reference BLAS and other optimized
implementations...

dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libatlas-dev_3.8.3-2_all.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite '/usr/include/cblas.h', which is also in package libblas-dev 0:1.2-2

Best Regards,
