[Pkg-scicomp-devel] Bug#717545: libgmp3c2: Missing in wheezy, which causes some 3rd party programs to fail

[Petr Pudlak]

Package: libgmp3c2
Version: 2:4.3.2+dfsg-1
Severity: normal

After upgrading to wheezy, my installation of Glasgow Haskell Compiler
stopped working. Neither it was possible to reinstall it, the installer
was unable to start. The problem was caused by missing libgmp3c2.

Workaround: Install an old version of the package from squeeze. After
installing it, GHC works again.

I suppose that since the package is included in sid, it's only a bug
that it's missing in wheezy.

Suggested solutions:

- Add libgmp3c2 to wheezy.
- Suggest a how to run programs that were compiled on sqeeze and expect
  the package on wheezy.
