[Python-modules-team] Bug#454484: ImportError: undefined symbol: clapack_sgesv in scipy/linalg/clapack.so

[Erich Schubert]

Package: python-scipy
Version: 0.6.0-4
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Update: looks like installing atlas3-sse2 helps to resolve the dependencies.
So it's either the dependencies or the ABI which is broken, pick any.
